Yes, I thought Fred's comments were OK.
The questions, and subsequent rebuttals from Tomasz, were actually
helpful to me, especially as they were tech orientated.
As long as it doesn't become personal either way.
People make their own judgements on the points - in this case Tomasz
won 4-0 but I was still looking a specific example, from Fred,
of 'what the implications of this implementation' might be, or a
retraction from Fred (now that the discussion has been slammed we
will never know if there was anything in his comments or not).
An objective critique can be answered and then we all learn something
useful - I don't learn anything from name calling etc.
