I cannot turn off the email automatic notification either, and this is the only thread that notifies me. Well if a thread goes nowhere, who cares whether it is an argument or a socializing thread? Without going back to check, I do recall that you posted a very worthwhile question a ways back. As far as people on this thread changing their positions, I have a very hard time even seeing what their positions are. So I say we need to keep on arguing until we get it all straightened out. </p>
