Dmitry, you should really go and look at the archives for
previous threads here. This is a subject that has been
discussed to death, and it is unlikely you have anything
new to say (so far you don't!)
By the way I agree with your position, but this is a well
discussed issue, and absent new arguments, nothing will
change in this area.
