Hee hee!  Steve, don't get upset just because people disagree with you!
Your opinions are just as valid as ours.  Really, when it comes down to
it, the best answer is the one that best meets your organization's
needs.  The problem is identifying what "best meets" the needs.

I just wanted to be clear that, In My Opinion, efficiency is an
important goal, and not one that should be dismissed on general
purposes.  If it turns out not to be an issue in your shop, then that's
a specific situation.  But if you're going to use a less efficient
solution, it should be a conscious decision, not one made just because
you don't think efficiency matters.
