Why not just get personal Bob, Like, "Matt you are an idiot." peace is war huh? Shut the hell up. By your definition, so does the hub poll. It makes one request. The cloud makes one. So there you go, smart ass. I've had it with this list thanks to jerks like Bob.
I'm sorry, others, but there is only so much one can take of this type of stuff. I want to get things done, not fight. Don't bother replying Bob, I'll be off the list by then. For the record, I'm still planning on finishing my implementaion of PSHB. I love what you guys are doing. Padraic, I think your article was wonderful, by the way. I tried to make my initial statement neutral and made that perfectly clear. I wasn't saying you didn't understand the spec, just that I didn't want to get piled on again. I'll follow your work closely. Thanks, everyone else who has been courteous.
