well to be fair I also fall ino that trap, and actually some lengthly  
discussions
can be interesting, but not everything has to be dissected forever,  
there are
diminishing returns, even if all contributions were well tought out,  
and a given
point it often it is just about choosing which tradeoffs to make  
(which is always
a bit arbitrary).

ok now I stop before I succesfully transform this in another lengthly  
discussion ;)
