I'm not too sure how long you've been lurking here but if you look at 
the archives for the last year you'll see that bloody flame wars like 
this dominate PLUG. I'm not going to start a bang-fest on PLUGs culture 
(the folks here like it this way and that's fine) but you do have to 
realize that the noise level here is very high. If your looking for 
technical lists I have a few that are very good at staying on topic, 
feel free to contact me off list.
