I've asked that we move this to another thread or stop the discussion, as it
detracts from the main topic.

Since people have ignored that request, in future I will create new threads to
continue discussion on the topic of interest. It's either that, or we move to
a semi-moderated list, if participants are unwilling to stay on topic or honor
requests to do so.
