ECF is the only forum or blog I belong to. I don't do & haven't tried the whole Facebook/MySpace/Twitter thing. I've found that people will say a lot of things online they wouldn't dare say in person or even on the phone. I don't know about the specific topic or comment related to this
thread but I think you're taking a very good approach. So far I've seen a lot of very open-minded people on this forum, especially on the V4L board.
