This "Interchange" discussion took place online over the course
of several months in the fall of 2005. We wanted the "Interchange"
to be free flowing; therefore we encouraged participants not only
to respond to questions posed by the JAH but also to communicate
with each other directly. What follows is an edited version of the
very lively online conversation that resulted. We hope JAH
readers find it of interest.
