As I said to a friend who contacted me off list, Dirk is a great guy and probably tired of some of the other rantings in this List. I'm sure a lot of fellow Listees would say that this is off topic. I know you are very serious about this, but there are a lot of people who have a knee jerk reaction to this topic (and I have a colleague from Kansas who is concerned about this). Allow me to use the express "bait" as a euphemism for something else that engenders this knee-jerk reaction.
