Ok, this thread caught me by surprise. Seeing it, I was wondering if John had somehow "carpet bombed" us with a bunch of updates I somehow missed. Nope, it seems this is a "response" to a one time message back in mid July.
I'm not sure if Bill is just catching up, or found the more current threads in need of "spicing up" by giving John a tweak. Either way, I'd rather people thought a bit about a post they are about to make. Does it "add value" to list, or just bytes? Opinions are fine, but to announce that you are not interested in a product isn't really informative to anyone else, especially two weeks after the original post. There are a lot of products I am not buying, for a variety of reasons. I feel no compulsion to follow any announcement of such a product with my own declaration that "Nope, I'm not gonna buy that." Thanks to John and all for keeping it civil. Please call an end now, while I can still say that! Pieter E.
