I would like to say that Landon (as has anyone) has a right to his
opinions etc etc.   My task being a member of the 532 team is to ensure
that the proper perspective is placed on it's performance and
capabilities.  I am willing to talk to any one most any time.  Landon
will be coming over to visit next week some time

From my perspective, no one has as yet flamed me sufficiently to
get me to the point that I just don't care.  I accept the challenges
as that ----- challenges.

Landon ----- any cookies left?  See ya next week.
