I was staying away from this thread, only because from my past experience, this can be a very controversial topic (and I shy away from those kinds of things). I didn't read all of your replies either. One thing that I have learned since becoming a mother is that every child, every parent, every situation is different. You have to do what is right for you and your baby. Saying that, I can say that when my children were babies there were some nights that we co-slept, but it was not on a regular basis. It was on as needed basis. It was easier than me getting up and down all night. My children are now 8 and 13 and both sleep in their own rooms, unless there is a thunderstorm.
