That was in fact my point.
I make no argument as to whether identifiable Beta blockers identified
prior to Alpha release should necessarily become Alpha blockers.
The answer to that I fear is stuck in the morass of "case by case
judgement call."  I'm just glad I'm not the one who has to make the
judgement. Though I'd probably
choose to not make beta blockers block alpha in most circumstances.
Luckily its not my call.  Now if you'll excuse me  I need to find my
pitchfork so I won't look out of place as a slip back into the angry
mob.
