Very true statement and an excelent analogy, well put.

For those of us that were here last January when the split happened we 
know that it wasn't a pretty sight. The folks that split off did so with 
a bitter taste in their mouths, and for good reason (I can't blame 
anyone for wanting to distance themselves from that level of hostility). 
I'll admit that it could have been done with a little more tact than 
this, but it didn't, so grow up and get over it.

It's my opinion that this thread should take it's rightful place next to 
politics in plug-talk, I know that I'm [1] certainly tired of watching 
y'all kick this nasty rotting corpse.

1 - And I'm not alone.
