I think you should, or at least agree to take it private and report back to the list once you both come to a decision. Once you've stated your position twice, there's not really much point in saying it a third time. It's a sign that the discussion is turning on itself. I'm glad this thread hasn't turned into a flamewar, but the stakes are so low that I'm sure it could easily become one. I'd like to make sure that everyone, Deven, Tom, and the rest of the list, relax and realize that it's just a programming language. Nat
