As long as we're on the subject, I'll bring up last year's question:

     Are MPE users in danger of becoming a cult?

The answer is still on the web at:

     http://www.aics-research.com/chad/

Just to put all the answers found on this web page in context, it's
important
to remember just a mere short 365 days ago that (i) Hale-Bopp was high in
the
sky, (ii) the Heaven's Gate people had just committed mass suicide, and
(iii)
Bill Gates and Lew Platt had just signed some form of co-operative, mutual
non-aggression pact.
