Living Computer Museum

[TeoZ]

All this shows me is that in principal people will pick the extreme ends of 
a topic to fight about but in reality once you get into specifics and 
details most people are really in the middle and tend to agree on what 
should be done (in most cases).

You can argue to the point of violence if a glass of water is half empty or 
half full but everybody will agree there is water in the cup (and then argue 
over the definition of a cup).

People are funny.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing and I think it just shows how 
futile some threads are, although I am sure that wherever you stand on the 
arguments above, everyone will agree that the loss of the LCM is a major 
blow.
