Hi Rand,

     Welcome to the list. You'll be surprised at the traffic this question can
generate. The list just finished a circa 3-month thread on this very subject ---
it's a good thing that the participants were separated by cyberspace or I fear
that the various Subarites, Lilleyites (half and full) and I4 advocates would
have come to blows at times.......there's a ton of this stuff in the
archives......and I'm sure we'll see more in 'real-time' shortly.

Good luck on your search,
