Good thoughts, all. I always take note of what is being discussed, but it's
more like a "I recognize this/that name as something discussed on IDM" unless
I see a pile of things about it. Overall, I use what I see here as sort of a
list of possibles. And I have to say that a friend of mine and myself have
been shopping on more than one occasion and bought something because "
*everyone* on IDM hates this and it's prolly good" :-)
