The only problem is that there are more people subscribed here than on
sounder therefore he would get more varied opinions here. I would rather
see someone just about to take the plunge post here. He can move to
sounder with nontechnical posts later. Also, as someone pointed out, to
him, his was a technical question and I agree.

Don't be such a Net Nazi and have some flexibility.
