But this is by NO means a blemish, and if it causes you embarassment, it just means you lack perspective. There are good arguments on both sides of this issue. Which side you come down on depends on your evaluation of the relative merit of these good arguments. It is clear that the general viewpoint is that the disadvantages of allowing this kind of specification outweigh the advantages. I find this perfectly reasonable, and not the least bit embarassing to describe and defend! -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum
