I disagree. Being direct and to the point, without deceit or obfuscation, is a POSITIVE trait. I do business with people like this, and prefer if others do as well. I respect the person who doesn't feel the need to sugar coat their statements for "glitter" value, especially when they're right. If you take unwarranted cheap shots (and these were) at such a person, this is a perfectly proper and measured response. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity Modem: [+1 312 248-0900] | T1 from $600 monthly; speeds to DS-3 available Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1] | 21 Chicagoland POPs, ISDN, 28.8, much more Fax: [+1 312 248-9865] | Email to "info@mcs.net" WWW: http://www.mcs.net/ ISDN - Get it here TODAY! | Home of Chicago's only FULL Clarinet feed!
