Arup,

With all the details on hand, my criticism was probably not worded well.
I do however, want to tell you that I meant no offense and that I consider
your technical writings to be of the highest degree.

That article however I did not agree with ... and since it comes quite high in
metalink search, maybe it needs to be updated a little bit.

Cheers,
