Heh, even I've made this mistake in the past.  Matt, have you considered
changing your last name?  It probably would cut down on the number of
unwarranted slanderous attacks against you.  :-)

I have respect for Matt; he's clueful and a reasonable guy, even if we do
disagree from time to time.

Michael, on the other hand, I'd contemplate leaving in the ocean for the 
sharks if I came upon him after a shipwreck.  Ask him sometime about the
fun and games with ISP/C and his tenure there during the whole IAHC process.

Just don't expect a straight answer.  :-)
