- Read what I wrote. I like my system because, after evaluating it and your
- system, I decided that yours sucks and mine doesn't. This isn't just

- I went looking for a system that does what I need it to do. I tried your
- system. It failed miserably. If the alternatives are your system and my
- system, and yours sucks, then where am I left, especially if my system does
- the job and does it well?
