Dear Mr. Huegen, Must say your below email about me was very upsetting. What EXACTLY was "rubbish" in my recent InfoWorld column about NANOG etc? /Bob Metcalfe PS: You're confusing me with the other Bob Metcalfe, the one who writes about hog prices. At 8:44 AM 4/4/96, Craig A. Huegen wrote:

As top the top 100 cheief engineers, assuming for a moment that 100 number is something more than a number I pulled out of thin air., With your comments to Nanog you are probably addressing half.
Bob Metcalfe is just another example of a computer journalist caught up in the buzzwords of the current technology. It's sad to see such rubbish in news, but hey, it's how they make the money. It's very disappointing that he attempts to DEFEND his cluelessness against some of the BEST in the industry.
Bob, I recommend you go back to covering hog prices for the local paper.
