He's doing it again...duck!

I'm going to ask. I don't care. I just am...

We all work with various DTP things, I take it--from
mainframe composition to stone tablets and charcoal--right?
I sometimes have the feeling (to wit: latest Interleaf vs.
Framemaker indexing tools exchange) we "talk" around/over/through
each other sometimes. I mean, some savvy folks have an
exchange, and others watch like at a ping-pong tournament
(no? think of your eyeballs sometime, reading this stuff...)

Would there be a worthwhile purpose (lord, I started this same
way a couple of months back, and look what happened...) to
present/discuss/commisserate on a product (hard/software) or
other means of doing what we do? For example: this week and
next (or whenever)--Word and whatever it takes to make a book/
online help/etc. Issues like compatibility, ease of use, cost &
"ROI"--and like that...

I ask because we are all more or less in the position to
determine what tools we have at our disposal (I sure wish I
could dispose of ... after using the %$ -at- *& idiot spelling
checker, boy). Would it add to our general acumen to banter
these things about? Or is this old stuff...
