On another note, the change that allowed this has brought discord to a previously harmonious community. I for one regret this. Dominic Steinitz dominic@steinitz.org http://idontgetoutmuch.wordpress.com

I've used it for that, it has been helpful. I don't know if it was ever the best way to achieve what I wanted. I think the thing its self is the only logical consistent way for things to be. It is also fairly clear why people don't like it. Obviously it isn't ideal it doesn't follow some intuitions.
