I Hope Wayne Rash didn't take my second e-mail personally What's embarrassing is that the trends were there for all to see. Though some of us expressed doubts about the impact on the network or about the lack of flexibility, we ignored the obvious. Maybe we'll do better next time. To which I replied... Actually, what's embarrassing is that you could be so clueless about the effort required to deliver software which could bring the NC to fruition in the first place, and to give up on it after one year is just, well, God help your publication. How embarrassed are you going to be when the NC starts proliferating on a time scale that WAS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE. Seeing and comprehending are two different things I suppose. Sorry guy, but you are about as bright as a lump of coal.
