Aubrey, if I had to choose between duff info and no info at all, I personally would rather have no information at all, so for me, it'd be a win-win situation :)! The duff info is what kicked off this whole split plane discussion - it puts an engineer, who has a good understanding of the situation, but pressure and responsibility not to screw up, in a difficult situation; in the case of no info at all, (s)he's given a free hand, or rather, is forced to think for him-/herself, and do the homework - I'd take this option every time. Let's go with the all-singing, all-dancing SI-List App Notes Charts :D!! Sol P.S. Or are we gonna get busted for libel?!? Steve's fears of litigation could be well-founded, and we might just make ourselves ideal targets :) (never forget the McDonald's coffee cup case, is what I say).
