Dear Kenny,

> Sorry to of offended, but my sentence was suitably qualified! Take care,

I am not offended - I just want to underline what is scientifically correct.

Your sentence was 'suitably qualified'? If you say so... It looks like
you know without using R.E.D. Server Dev. (our last tool) or even
without being aware of our unreleased features (broken symmetry
feature, etc...).

My feeling is that you have a long signature - Take it easy ;-)

regards, Francois
