<p>Not so Ed. However it IS bad form to bad mouth the competition.... regardless
of who that is. And since its difficult to draw the line that seperates
bad mouthing from criticism... its best to go out of ones way to be ....
shall we say... polite ? I think... tho of course I do not know...
that this applies to technicians world wide and not just US techs :)
