Can I just say: "Thank you, thank you, thank you"? As a devoted lurker, I
have always loved this list, but these recent threads have just made my hair
hurt. I can't deal with constant bickering of this ilk. Comparative
analysis is one thing, and a very useful thing, but it has NOTHING TO DO
WITH BETTER/WORSE.
