Dear all:
Hope I won't get into this ugly war by saying this. Reading this post
brings back the old ugly nightmare when I discussed subjects with engineers.
A lot of opinions and arguments but with little concrete facts-based
advises, and this post can be like a meeting in the real life, goes on and
on without anything constructive and productive.
If I may advise, can we put on apple-to-apple facts for highlighting points
we're trying to make, so the one who needs advise can make his/her own
decisions?
Thanks for your help to me, but I just couldn't help to make the above
comments as this post has turned to a personal warfare.
Thanks and good luck.
