tabulation thus far: (some interpretation needed to arrive at these #'s so they are subjective)

For:----------------------------------------- 2

against: -------------------------------------8

mixed/unsure/multiple posts: -----------------2

Many frequenters have responded, but not all. It need not remain a clear for/agin for a given respondant, one person offered 4 postings that produced a mixed response by definition, but 3 of the 4 were "for".

So, I think the poll numbers themselves are being eclipsed by the interesting multiple posts, and the evolving opinions are interesting to me. I also appreciate the humour where used, and respect the conviction of those who feel strongly.

Colorado Sue - the prozac equation cracks me up !

Brink - I stand corrected. And to think, me, stuck in the 70's, getting that one wrong !

LSH - hehe I especially appreciated the longitude humour as a mapper

, but I meant the statistical usage of longitudinal as in longer time study. Of course, with the "other" longitudinal definition you expressed in fun for Washington State's range, you expressed to the nearest minute, which at that latitude is aproximately +/- one nautical mile; leaving a bit to the imagination

Keep 'em coming..... thanks you guys for all the responses.
