Quick summary

Hey Zift, Welcome to EvC.I understand your issue, but (there is always a "but") the problem with some kind of summary is that ... well, topic creep.Any thread is apt to diverge into several separate topics related, somewhat related but mostly, not a damn bit related to the suject of the OP (Opening Post).The mods here are quite flexible but they do try to keep threads from getting too far off topic.I humor myself.Anyway, a constant updated summary most probably will not happen because of the time/effort expenditure over a fast moving broad scope thread.The best, and I encourage you to try this, is to just jump in. Read the op then read the last few messages. If you're interested in one of the side topics or want to try to get the thread back on topic, just let'r rip. Jump on in. If you're not interested in the op or a side topic, jump in anyway. It's fun, educational, cathartic and we need the breadth of opinion.Come on in.What is a "Zift"? Where you from? What do you like? Where do your interests lay?

Oh, I think I'll let someone else do the obvious here.
