No need for apology: I appreciate your sharing that page here, and agree that it provides insight potentially valuable to this discussion - no matter if still relevant for those who wrote the text, and no matter if it is/was a comparison or a list or a single point. Thanks! For the record, I do not criticise the authors of that text of it being inaccurate nor incomplete nor biased. On the contrary I appreciate their sharing publicly their notes for others to reuse :-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
