Todd,
Eric is way out of line in many things, to a few different people, from what
**I** have **seen** you have only agreed with him, and followed up on it
yourself (do I need to point out the thread? Because this is *true* and not
a misstatment or twisted words). I find it no surprise you 2 are friends,
birds of a feather I guess. You really do need to talk to your friend about
his personal attacks on people, they are uncalled for in an *adult*
conversation. But alas, these words will fall on deaf ears - so what is the
point? And lugnet website vs. telco vendor manager - I can see why he has
insight as to how you should run this site - it seems he has one of the very
few opinions that matter.
