 Tim have you been into a particularly suppressive or anal-retentive mode
lately ? What's the harm ? And I'm sorry but this was a CPM FAQ not an
8' fd faq. Much less a well-discussed one. FAQs were created to answer
repetitious questions not to eliminate the need for particular group
discussion of the theme.. Reminds me of the old guilds where smithy methods
should not be discussed among the profane. I don't remember you posting
objections to any other thread. Why this ?
