    Horse:
    But I'm not sure what this achieves in the long run. Does it increase
    the value of the discussions or just show what most can see in the
    first place. Slapping labels on people is more at the social than
    intellectual level and what I'm aiming for is a higher quality
    intellectual level forum.

    msh:
    I see your point and agree. No one will take me up on my offer,
    anyway, so not to worry.

    Thanks for a great forum,
    Mark
