- If you mean to impose upon Fateman the following burden you describe as:
-
- > I ... would like to see him state exactly what ... before ...
-
- Then you would indeed be abusing him or -anyone- on which you would
- seek to impose that kind of burden, before you are willing to consider
- their opinions further.
-
- Of no particular burden to Mr. Fateman would be to investigate
- what systems he has been involved in -building- and to analyze his comments
- in light of those experiences. Of course, that puts the burden on -you-,
- but at that point you can take your best shots.
