Opening up this can of worms may have been a mistake. In which case, I apologise for my earlier and continued postings in the thread to those who find it of no use.

But, but, but ... I've found the posts interesting -- especially those who don't necessarily agree with my own views (I'm blessed with flexibility of mind and can adjust to fresh ideas). And it's all been fun (I've awarded karma in the thread myself to those who made me think and/or chuckle. Many posts have done that.

But if this thread has been of any true value, it's this: It's shown in no uncertain terms that Mobile read is a democracy where all views are welcomed and where the huge majority are warm, tactful, friendly, thoughtful, helpful, witty, generous and lucid. That in itself proves an important point, eh?

So here's maximum Karma to MobileRead itself whose value can only be rewarded through the astuteness of its volunteer mods and the support and appreciation of its membership ... the community it conceived and to which it gave life.

Bestests, folks. Neil
