- Rick,

- Thanks for being the first one to provide a decent response to my
- post. I'll see if I can dig up any info on a MIT study and if I do
- I'll post a brief message here as to the results. There are alot
- different views on this issue and I was hoping to start a short
- discussion here, unfortunately, some of the users have nothing
- better to do but flame a reasonable post.
