I don't think I have anything to add to what has been said (and I certainly don't want to continue a flamewar). Can people please just drop the subject until after Usenix. This kind of flamewar is too upsetting (to me anyway) and just makes it harder to have a useful face-to-face discussion. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
