Well, just to throw in $.02 here, I'd be curious to see a clone database, and I might even use it from time to time. However, two things: A. If we view it as Todd & Suz's sandbox, it's their choice. B. If we see them as fulfilling our needs/wants in (...) (25 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.db.scans)
