I agree with you, Frank.  I also value Scott's expertise and contributions
to this group.  He may be a little sharp-worded at times, but he doesn't
beat around the bush.  You know where he stands on an issue...

I don't think that Scott was much harsher in his comments to Himanshu than I
was earlier this week to Murali (see
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200210/msg00362.html ), and the only
comment I got in regard to my post to Murali was a positive one.
