- I think that with the kind of progress that ARDI has been making recently
- you should not be so hard on them. Of course, you don't seem to have noticed
- the difference between 1.0 and 1.99m. To me, the differences between each
- version are tremendous and well worth the praise it receives.
- Cliff's response wasn't the most cheerful, but I think you are being a
- little too harsh about this.
