Like I said, I don't want to hijack the thread. They are all just words. If you call them golden pixie dust practices, the people who would follow them blindly will still follow them blindly. I see nothing wrong with any name. The point is people need to be educated not to follow blindly. Check out the talks that get good attendance. "Top 10 best practices to...". It's what people want. Fight is all you like. You will lose and the blind followers will win. :)

Please start another thread if you want to discuss it further. :)

Cheers

Tim...
