It's somewhat amusing, but also mildly depressing, to see these remarks despite the fact that I explicitly stated (in bold, even), that "I'm not advising you to ditch your database!"

And yet somehow that gets translated into "get rid of that database."

Sorry it's mildly depressing. Unfortunately, any thoughts you bring up related to a polarizing issue are going to end up being framed in terms of the polarization. That's just the way it is; some things will never change.

On the up side, you are going to learn a lot about essay writing, and about how concepts do/don't get through to people. These are very valuable skills.

Don't be depressed. You started something that's spawned (as of now) 28 comments. Great thread.
