Re: FAST Complaints

2 Feb 2010 3:44PM ETOnce again you manage to write a post that I don't get. I may be dense but I don't understand what you want.
If I just ignore your impoliteness and try to extract the references to me and what I have said and done, I get the following list:

I get this, you ask me to read on and you will address me separately.
(reading on ...)

Is this a trick question or are you just trying to be funny at my expense? I don't understand what you want to say. You loose me halfway through the first sentence (at the "and"). I'll take these five lines apart when I get some more time. If I find a plausible interpretation, I will certainly post. In the meantime, I would appreciate if you re-read your own text and if possible try to explain what you are getting at here. Your own deconstruction if the 5 lines may be helpful.

"... clear rules as tables ...", point taken. We are working on some docs that are supposed to be more accessible. I believe Dale also has done some work in this area.
It would help if you could elaborate on the "glaringly obvious shady FAST spec/document" because I'm uncertain what it is that is "glaringly obvious shady". All, most of it, certain parts? Maybe my confusion can be explained by my limited language skills. I would appreciate if you could elaborate. Specific suggestions for how we could improve and/or complement our docs would be great.

Also, I would like to try again to convince you to be more polite.
Please?
Best,
Rolf
