I was interested in this thread until the major players in the long-running OMNI tirade found it and hijacked it.

My suggestion - each side should be allowed one link to the OMNI thread, then should back out of this one. Lord help us if this one degenerates to the condition of that one (interesting for awhile, then the eyes glaze over from the repetition, then disgust creeps in as both sides get ugly with each other).
