Nick, don't you get off of your high horse and drop back into the pit you crawled out of! If YOU had BOTHERED TO READ the posting that Joe sent, you WOULD have noticed that Joe requested that anyone with information MAIL him. Not a general request to start the "brand-wars" again. Yes, as you've guessed, this IS a PUBLIC flame. Yes, I KNOW that it's not generally considered proper netiquette to flame someone publicly, but I've seen too much of this attitude of being rude to those with the most reasonable questions. Not everyone has been reading this (or other) groups since the beginning of time, nor can they be expected to make a purchasing decision based upon what has been said in the "brand-wars". The response above is not only to Nick, but to all of the other people out there who have helped this group degenerate to it's current point. On the OTHER HAND, I Heartily thank those who have repeatedly tried to HELP those out here with questions, and propose solutions to the wide range of subjects presented over the past 18-20 months I have been reading this (and the previous incarnation of this) newsgroup. --rick -- DISCLAIMER: The foregoing is the result of a brain frazzled by the effects of insufficient sleep and a noisy phone line, and in no way reflects the opinion of my employer, friends, or enemies.
