In the past few weeks there have been a few threads where the OP never contributed to the thread past the original post (roughly once every two or three weeks). Huge threads resulted from these, mainly because the post was designed to provoke such an argument, with little accomplished because most ppls minds are made up on the issue in question. Seems it's all too easy to do. Appologies if this is a "genuine" poster, rather than a "troll" (is that the correct term?) Chris
