Frederick-
 I for one appreciate your responding.  It's sometimes hard to know who to 
believe, but it's a lot tougher to know WHAT to believe when you haven't
even heard the other side of the story.  Not to say that there aren't 
legitimate gripes out there.  I'm just glad you are taking the time to
provide some information on balance...  -DmG
