This discussion has come up many, many, many times in the past. I've written the following articles about it.

The preceding articles all require memberships in the System iNetwork to view. The one with "Associate" requires a FREE Associate membership. The Pro/ProVIP ones require paid memberships.

In addition to these articles, this has been discussed in the past on this mailing list, take a look at this message, and the remainder of the thread associated with it:

And this one:
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200704/msg00304.html

It has been discussed once or twice on the System iNetwork forums as well. (These forums do not require any special membership)
