Everyone:

I believe that this thread has gone on long enough. I think we all have real work to do. Last night's 8052.com mailing list mail was > 50k due to this thread, and the thread is going in circles.

That, in and of itself, would not prompt me to close a thread. But now one of the main participants is starting to post messages as if he were two different people, replying to himself. I guess this allows him to "double" his support. Interestingly, he posted the messages without changing his name, email, or IP address--which suggests to me that the person in question either has a split personality or, more likely, just isn't too swift at forging messages.

That being the case, I would request that we please terminate this thread. The thread is of a "religious" nature, and now one of the religions is talking to itself.

Thank you,
Craig Steiner
