I must beg to differ here. I fail to see that there is anything essentially
wrong with the duplex idea. It creates an effect that many like and enjoy. I
also fail to understand why "getting tired of hearing about the past" seems
more to mean resenting that many folks actually like much of what has been
done in that past and wish for a continuance of that past.

That being said, very few are against finding new ways of doing things, and I
am sure we all applaud those who tread these paths. However, and as it always
has been, putting something new on the market is not an easy task. Anyone who
would challange the top has simply got to convince big time.

I think personally, that almost everyone on this list is prepared to seek and
listen to new answers and new ideas. But on the other hand, many of these same
folks are not prepared at the same time to accept that some of the most
successfull designs of the past are simply and hopelessly flawed.
