Hi Keith:

Thanks for this note. I was impressed with your input until the end 
paragraph "And for god sakes ... performance." A little disappointed 
with the choice of language which does not make a good case for your 
arguments.

But, disregarding the language, we need now to examine the requirements 
of the choice of CMS according to the SC TDF page, which I seemed to 
have lost. I put a note on the list asking where to find the site.

We need to go through the list in a rational and methodical way. All of 
these argumentative posts are getting nowhere.

Let' examine the virtues of each CMS packages a little more critically 
and without prejudice for competing CMS package.
