There is a lot more that I would want to say, but I find this format of 
discussing in a subthread a bit confusing. I am not sure if a wiki is 
the right solution, but I'd really like a discussion forum where we 
could combine remarks by subject.
Can someone set something up somewhere?
If not, I might feel forced to sift through this mess again to collect 
all arguments and put them on a simple html page, but be aware that that 
one will be highly biased and not changeable by others ;)
