Hi Stuart --

I've never had a problem with an autonumber

"There is no free cheese in this world" you know :)
- replication could create subtle collision issues when autonumbers used -
and that would be another kind of collision from the one which could "arise

- memory overhead is another issue as Jim noted ("consistent data modelers"
do neglect it);
- ...
Isn't it time now to recapitulate constructively this discussion and to list
pedantically pros and cons of every approach? Anybody?
Thank you.
