I am sorry I am playing devil's advocate again, but this is called a
naturalistic fallacy. Just because something is (natural) doesn't mean it
ought to be that way. So this argument may work often, but don't try this
on anyone asking for a reason why something that seems natural ought to be
that way.

Very good point, will take into serious consideration.

thanks
 

Please don't take my comments personally. I know things in writing can
look a lot more rude than they are meant to be.

Florian, I make it a personal point not to take things personally :)

I see this list as an opportunity to help out, to share my points of view
but most primarily I see this as an opportunity to learn from the free exchange of 
ideas from various professionals from different parts of the planet.

Also, I believe in taking a stance with my ideas and beliefs,
but never do I take a 'firm' stance I am open to be proven
wrong and to stand corrected.
