I agree with your point of view. Neither resource is 100% perfect; together they deliver valuable information, albiet with different missions. Bottom line is the collective body of knowledge represented in both efforts is a work in process without an end. I use both resources and will continue to. Negative barbs and personal attacks is a waste of time and do not belong on the list. Paul
