I do find it funny the type of argument this has become (it'd be even better if the demography actually matched): - the kids want to do something new cause - well - everyone else is doing it - but, the parents have their house rules and traditions and are steadfast against breaking them. In that regard, I'd be a kid. On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 3:47 AM, Lokrain <lokrain@gmail.com> wrote: > > But I have a question, people here talk that this is very very useful in > some cases.

"Shorter" works; but, it isn't as enticing. The only ease I can see in it is simply for familiarity (see "kids argument" above). Though, the amount of ease will obviously vary from one person to another. - Jon L.
