right, this is where Donald steps in and says something along the lines of having lost any operational relevance.

Yep.

So was that Donald agreeing that it had lost relevance but not actually saying that "it had lost relevance and to please stop posting on this subject" or was it Donald saying "please dont post anymore on this subject as it is no longer relevant" ?

The posting to which I was replying is evidence that some on this list do know that. - Donald Neal Donald Neal |"we don't want kids going to Support Engineer |university if they are not going NGN Operations |to success" - Kate Colbert, NZQA Integration & Services Division +----------------------------------- Alcatel NZ Ltd - Telecom's network operations manager ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
