One reasons why this "holy war" between MLs and Forums goes on and on is because both sides try to "make things clear for everyone"(1) explaining why their position is the best one... and both sides are at the same time right and wrong! Both solutions have pros and cons: there is no perfect system, that's all. We have MLs for development and "decision making" and we have Forums for user support. Please, let's go on with life: holy wars are tiresome. Thanks (1) There is a Spanish saying that goes "no aclares que oscureces" but I'm not sure how to translate it into English... something like "do not clarify that you are making it darker" is near, but not exactly the same ;) Regards Ricardo
