BZZZZT!! Wrong!  There most certainly is a difference.  The coercitivity (sp?)
of the DD disks is lower than the HD disks.  Think about it, if they
were the same, why would any diskette manufacturer bother selling their
product for one price when they could sell it for twice as much?  
Furthermore, hole-punched disks, even if they dont suffer data loss by
direct media error, they are highly prone to errors because of tiny
plastic slivers introduced by the punching process.  Come on, this is
well-documented. 

Well mr fnord, I have sent you email on this topic and I think we should
continue our conversation there.
