Kony and I get into debates from time to time and I have no problem with that. >>You've locked onto what you perceive as a 'benefit' but it is so limited, >>and of such little value to so few people, that it's like spending a >>hundred bucks to buy a penny.

Even more spending a dollar to save a > penny Well, let's not get too carried away here. What you described is akin to the point I'm making about the the over all value/cost of Netbeui, or lack of it, but Kony hasn't argued that part. He's stuck to the argument it's of 'value' under certain circumstances, not 'universally'. What I find illogical is his apparent conviction that this limited 'value', if such exists, justifies the cost of continuing support; hence my penny for a 100 bucks analogy.
