The one thing nobody has pointed out, if we were to take the DT out of commission, is how Dick and Susan, who've spent their lives compiling and maintaining it, would feel. I understand the points made, I just think it sounds kind of crass or casual about their commitment and, after all, their property. They should NOT be forced off. Neither should HFA be able to assimilate their efforts' result into their site, as has been done with ILS.

I guess what I am trying to say is let's be a little sensitive and try not to sound so casual about dumping someone's life work.
