That was my thinking as well, which is why I was staying out. I remember
the days when "Admin" did just about everything later broken into Broker,
Liaison, and eight million other things, and J-o-T was used a lot. I have
feet planted firmly on both sides, I enjoy the simplicity of the one and
the fiddly of the other, but since the two extremes are incompatible and
have everything to do with the chargen process, I see no point in stomping
on anything. People should do what they enjoy.
