I just want to say thank you for your post. I read so many of these clip answers that give no real information to help anyone. I wish I could get more details on why someone thinks a certain way or not! Give some facts, please. New people are searching for information from the best (all of you experienced MTs) on a given subject! Thses line count posting has been wonderful to read. It does not take anything (money or job) away from anyone but does give points of view and points to consider. One walks away with things to think about instead of some 2-word answer.
