(I wish that you had provided an address to reply to, so that people could
disagree without starting another round of voting.)

However, I disagree with your comments.  comp.arch is about *all* architectural
issues; and not even strictly "hardware" ones.  Eugene's comments (which you

only one kind of parallel architecture.
