Thanks Shelly and all the others on here and I can name many who have helped me in this past year or so. I feel I have learned what would have taken ten years to learn on my own. To the newbies out here I would recommend asking a lot of questions and be humble and learn.

Now there's an idea. Maybe setting up a "poll" would be a better format for these kinds of posts? That way, for those of us who don't have a strong background in authentication or feel inclined to explain our gut reaction, we can just respond to the poll anonymously. And those who have more to say, be it reasoned opinions, analysis, or even the aforementioned personal attacks, can post comments as usual. Sounds like a best-of-both-worlds approach to me, and I think you would get more of the honest gut-check responses with an anonymous poll than if everyone is worried that this is another of
those threads, so I'd better be careful how I respond lest I should fall prey to the AHA!
