I think that deeming a discussion pointless because something "probably won't happen" concerning it would be short-sighted, yes. If we rejected discussion on that criteria alone, traffic in -hackers would be cut by 80%. ;-) However, this would be more of a case akin to partitioning Ireland into Protestant and Catholic factions in order to bring peace and prosperity to the region. A desperately naive and short-sighted action guaranteed only to usher in a long period of argument and bloodshed, not peace and prosperity. Jordan
