Then again his IQ might be half of what Scott's is. Drop the personal
attacks because they do nothing /GOOD/.

Your concern is based on your ignorance and nothing more.

Again your ignorance is showing. Not a single person that has suggested or
is working on an XML nodelist has suggested anything close to this.

BB>     Catastrophic failure of internet components is not uncommon and

What does this (internet components failing) have to do with an XML
nodelist?

BB>     Retaining the direct connection system has advantages as long as

BB> those advantages away.

Again your ignorance is showing. PTSN happens to part of the XML nodelist we
are working on.

BB>     Make a better case, Scott, or put someone on who can. :-)

Bill, /YOU/ are the one that is in need of making a better case. You are
either arguing from an ignorant position /OR/ you are deliberately spreading
FUD.
