I find it quite tasteless these snide character attacks by two of the
contributors to this list.The obvious lack of a personal knowledge of

Please let us discuss or argue the merits or otherwise of any subject
without the personal attacks.
I know from my experiance over the last 16 years there are two sides to
every argument and person.
