Geoff:
Yes, but when a robust debate catches "tennis match syndrome" - i.e 
it descends into the "Oh yes it did/ Oh no it didn't" level of 
exchange repeated ad infinitum/ad nauseum, it wastes bandwidth, 
message numbers and erodes the patience of other readers who wade 
through the list looking for other posts of a more satisfyingly 
robust nature...
