Hi David and all Totally ignoring documented Standards to make a buck is NOT going forward. 'Creativity' and all the 'what the Internet is about' stuff does not mean you should ignore a Standard, especially in business. Fuel companies love diluting petrol with Ethanol nowadays because they can save/make a buck, but would you call that 'going forward' when you discover your engine life has been drastically reduced? I would suggest that the better way to go would be to stick to the standard, lest the company go broke because their 'creativity' sent them that way. > > This mail was content-checked for malicious code and viruses... *Snipped the two paragraph advert for GFI* > _______________________________________________ > Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. > Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html > _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
