<<The difference seems to be that I don't see much value in
the familiar. I may be wrong, but your comments seem to
suggest that you value the familiar over the functional.On
the other hand, I prefer the functional over the
familiar.>>

been as clear as I'd like. No, what I intended was to say
that familiar is often functional purely because it's
familiar. So we agree on this point at least.
<<And thanks, by the way, for a very interesting
discussion. Trying to answer you is certainly clarifying my
own ideas and assumptions for me - as well as allowing me
to see another viewpoint).>>
