I think you are doing a great job and I really like the work you do!
What I don't like is your answer to my question! Do you really think you did
it the right way when pointing on me with fingers and call me "Joe User"
(which is AFAIK what we call in Germany a DAU (=stupidiest thinkable user)).
I'm not in the software development business but also an engineer (network
planning and microwave link design). I wouldn't call you stupid although you
might not know all details for planning links or hugh IP-networks, too.
This was only my opinion but all readers in this list have the same opinion
as you have, I'd unsubscribe immediately. If that's what you intented -tell
me!
Juergen (not listening to 'Joe User')
P.S. May be you only don't like Germans, which -by the way- can't be my
fault...
P.P.S. This has been my last post to this topic in the list-furter via PM!
