I side with Radek on this. Some of you were around a while ago when Bob Hansel posted his latest survey on the RACF-L forum and a newbie flamed him for blatant advertising on a technical forum. The rest of us pretty much jumped down the poor guy's throat: Mr Hansel has been a valuable contributor to that forum for as long as I can remember, and his monthly surveys are very popular. (Monthly? Weekly? I haven't been paying attention, obviously.) Mr Brennan, feel free to shed further light as further light occurs to you.
