And it seems those with the least to offer sometimes have the most
perserverence in answering the same questions over and over.  Those who
have the most experience tend to reply a time or two to the perennial
questions and then fall silent and their words of wisdom are buried in a
ton of conjecture.
 
For this reason, I strongly encourage one and all to READ the ARCHIVES
before posing a question.  They are accessible by following the link below
and will give a very balanced view compared to answers that may be given
on any one occasion.
