Mr. Phillips,
	My sincere apologies for any offense caused by my note on
Xpert and NeWS-makers regarding the paper you wrote for your Cray User
Group meeting.  Nothing derogatory was intended by my remarks.
	I have written similar papers for both "sponsor sales" and
user groups, and recognize that the level of detail chosen must be (as
ever) appropriate for the purpose and audience.  I didn't expect that
my remarks would constitute a review of your work; rather more to
protect you from a barrage of requests from people expecting a
different level of presentation.  For the purpose and at the level
intended, the paper was very informative.
	Frankly, the largest intent behind my posting was to persuade
the author of the posting to which I responded (and authors of other
similar postings) to check around with the local folks, which it
seemed he hadn't done yet.  For a user asking the questions he was
asking, the level of your paper would be appropriate as well.
