i reckon this is going to be a full-blown FAQ. you fancy collating those replies, sorting them into some kind of summary, and posting that when the question's asked? or maybe just volunteering to send it to anyone who asks the question? to coin a rec.motoism, you could end up being the KotWSGATTAFAQ (Keeper of the What's So Great About Them Toasters Anyway? FAQ).

I'll be happy to collate/summarize what I have received so far, but I can't yet guarantee to be a permanent keeper of the FAQ because we don't have and might not get a toaster. If worse comes to worst, I'll have to pass along what I collected to someone else.
