I agree with you wholeheartedly.  This thread was making me really
sick.  Both camps are doing remarkable jobs, it's just that there are
some assholes (users from both sides) who can't praise their systems
without degrading what others are using.

Kudos to people who are doing a great job.  And please, let's not
crosspost anything to these two groups.  It will do no good to both
sides.
