[BC] Pushing too hard

[Bill Harms]

In my opinion to say that we don't need analog anymore is like saying 
that we don't need public transportation because the automobile is 
better. There is a place for both, perhaps it is the same for analog 
and digital as well.  Have you seriously considered that?  

It doesn't matter to me that this has been discussed for a long time 
and re-hashed because as long as the point there are people trying to 
eliminate analog, I will be speaking up.  In my it is not pointless.

The discussion of how to implement digital is a separate discussion 
from the merits of not eliminating analog while implementing digital.
