WOW - I'm marking my calendar. I think this as close as the uber-tactful
Mr. Hart has EVER gotten to actually offending somebody! <g>
Seriously, though, I find Geoff's reasoning as solid, diplomatic, and well
thought-out as always. In that respect, I consider him TECHWR-L's most
consistent poster, as well as one of its most valuable members.
With all due respect, I daresay it's probably a little easier to get an
article published in an STC pub than, say, the New Yorker. So I think this
is a perfect opportunity for Bill (or anybody else) to submit an article
with an opposing view. I hope Bill does so - it sounds like he has a real
handle on something that for many people is still a holy-grail concept:
practical, efficient single sourcing.
