(Humorous Sidenote: an informal variant of the Chess Grandmaster approach is to use the best arguments found on one list on _another_ list.

John Young uses this approach, quite effectively; his source lists are the New Yawk Times and Wall Street Journal, and the reputation he's built by forwarding the material has been quite good, in spite of the dubious sources of his information :-) #--- # Bill Stewart, Freelance Information Architect, stewarts@ix.netcom.com # Phone +1-510-247-0664 Pager/Voicemail 1-408-787-1281 #---
