Ed,
I don't particularly want to get into a flame war on this list, but I
do want to point out that the above is a complete and utter lie. At
no time have I *ever* championed the ICF (which is at best antithetical
to my political views). Nor was it ever even the subject of any
discussion between us.
I shouldn't be surprised by the pettiness of your transparent attempt
to smear me personally by association with a proposal advanced by my
employer. This isn't the first time you've demonstrated a lack of
personal integrity. And while it doesn't speak directly to the tech-
nical merit of your ideas (or lack thereof), posting such a bald-faced
lie is NOT a good way to bolster an already suspect reputation.
