Peter, Robert, Jason, Vince, Justin, et al.: First off, I'd like to ask everyone to CUT IT OUT WITH THE $^*&^@** FLAMING, ALREADY! People are *attacking* each other instead of disagreeing. Several posters seem to be taking to opportunity to say everything in the most insulting way possible, even when the actual source of disagreement is small. Perhaps we should declare a moritorium on this topic for 48 hours to let everyone calm down?
In case we don't, my response: PETER, it's obvious that the press release team would have benefitted from your copy-editing of the press release. You have several good points about places where we did not do the best possible job in the difficult task of translating technical notes into a form the general press would understand. I wrote a lot of the paragraphs you take issue with, and I don't deny that they could stand improvement. Would you be willing to act as a reviewer on future press releases? That way, we can get the benefit of your insight in a manner that will benefit the press release process. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
