I'm arguing that with such a strong component of "YMMV" there is NO "side"
in this debate that is so woefully wrong as to be labelled 'misguided',
which is what I was responding to in my first posdt in this thread.

I made my own choice, as outlined above, but 'sit on the fence' with
regard to my opinion on 'best practice' or 'misguided decisions', because
I don't belive there really is any one 'good' or 'bad' decision (except
maybe the decision to backscatter, but we all agree that is 'bad').
