this is a bit like the Irish threads.

people think this. People think that.

The people who have on the ground experience seem to have very definite opinions.

i think (in both cases) maybe it gives them insights we need to respect.

SJ, people aren't prats because they don't know as much as you about the experience as you obviously do. Its a subject which probably affects us all indirectly and therefore we throw our ten pee's worth in. Mudcat's a bit like that.

by all means, disabuse us of our daft middle aged ideas - and I can see how it woud get you annoyed. If you want folks to vote the other way - nows your chance. Tell us as nicely as you can.

luv
