Let us look up to Alan Coopersmith: In proving that he is - virtually always - most of all interested in fair (and bare) facts, rather than being biased to "always the one" versus "always the other" side, he demonstrates how a fair discussion could look like, even (and especially) if and when it is controversial. Generally speaking I would like everybody to always apologize where appropriate (as I do this myself), and to try looking beyond the local border line. Here, in this case, I do think that misc. folks owe the verified-skills engineer Joerg Schilling such a gesture. How can somebody call Schily a "self-proclaimed (a.k.a. "wanna-be") expert"? Maybe this rather opens insight into such an individual's own values system. I hope Alan Coopersmith will accept his OGB'08 nomination. If he does he will be on top of my personal voting list. Posting "+1"'es or smileys is cheap. But for posting inconvenient links into a David against Goliath thread it takes courage. %martin > -- > -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com > Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
