   Dear newsgroup participants,   
      
   The discussion in this thread is starting to become less informative   
   and (in places) more repetitious.  After discussion between the moderators,   
   we have decided to close the thread now.  Our thanks to all for an   
   interesting discussion!   
      
   If anyone has new points to raise, feel free to open a new thread.   
      
   ciao,
