Brian and Terry, what about the topic?  Does it warrant discussion?  Do you
think that our industry is under threat or that we in any way need to adapt
to survive?

Christine,

By personalising all your statements and responses, you are actually 
inviting the very condemnation that less-skilled members of this list will 
heap on you.
And Janice, you are doing the same thing.

It would be better for both of you, I believe, were you to describe what you

see, without wearing your hearts on your sleeves.

Have a look at any of the books on argument and debate - there you will find

the joys of ad hominem arguments. So, describe the behaviour; stop 
denigrating the author.

Brian.
