That applies to me to some extent as well. It wasn't obviously personal |
| 16 |
as I kept it generally worded and allowed exceptions for X in default |
| 17 |
(just not in boot), but I could have cushioned it with an explicit |
| 18 |
disclaimer to the effect that it was /not/ targeted at anyone |
| 19 |
specifically and was simply my opinion. |
| 20 |
|

IOW, maybe my post didn't go to the personal attack degree his did, but I |
| 22 |
did sort of ask for it as it could have been worded better even if saying |
| 23 |
the same thing, and could/should really learn something from the results |
| 24 |
of the exchange as well. |
