this has been a very enjoyable thread for me, when people take the time to get fully into a debate then you can't help but pick up info that you were previously unaware of, also once again one of thamnophis.com's characteristics has been demonstrated, a topic that divides opinion, YET no insults no blaspheming no sarcasm's, i love this site .
i was hoping that the thread had not run it's course and that others might have a view on this, as expected it did veer off course away from the future of the euro san fran and whether its desirable to have a pseudo san fran and into the more broader problems of american stock, but i have to say i was just as responsible for this as anyone else, and any way it made the thread even better,
a thread of this importance deserves it's own limerick [apologies it's a compulsion i have ]

just what should we do with the San Fran
is a question much studied of late
should we mess with his genes
by nefarious means
or leave this poor snake to his fate
