A bastardization of the last definition :-) I don't think these lists represent the whole industry, just a part of it. I think many of the opinions expressed on this list (including mine) might not represent what the collective opinion of the industry might be.
Basically this... things I hear from our customers and things I hear from this list can often times be two separate realities. Neither is wrong, but one doesn't necessarily represent the other. Does that clarify some?
