Hi MM,
Normally, we encourage new posters to participate in other threads before proposing their own topics. This usually lets people get a "feel" for the place before jumping in with both feet. However, I haven't seen this particular topic/approach discussed very often, so I'm inclined to promote it, even though you haven't presented your own opinion. My suggestion would be to present your view (and why) by editing the first post (or directly replying to this one), and then I'd be happy to promote the topic.
Fair warning: opening a thread pre-supposes that the thread author will actively participate in any ensuing discussion. I hope you get my drift.
I'll hold this open for today as is. Looking forward to your re-write.
Again, welcome to EvCForum. Stay within the Forum Guidelines, and enjoy!
