"Do you monitor my telephone and email? Do you have a private
investigator following me around to see who my contacts are?"

Of course. You didn't realize that James Bond works for me (my secret identity is really M)? 8-)

"Do you really think the best way to find out what the vendor
is really doing is to walk into their front door (or web site)
and ask them?"

Yes, I do. You'll be amazed at what you can learn. By reaching the right people you can learn a lot more than what is on the website.

To cite one stereotypic example, whenever I ask a French concern something I get a whole package express-mailed to me the next day and a business card of somebody who invites me to ask whatever I want.

Now, you have to be cognizant that you are, in fact getting a biased view - clearly they will support their own product. And you can criticize it to your heart's content.

But then at least you know what you're debating.

"I don't know as much about it as I do about conventional signaling,
but I'd be willing to bet I understand the technical details (not
the stuff you read in the NYT) a lot better than you do. "

Then start showing it. Instead of posting nonsense and letting Stephen and others take you apart with ease (and I know enough to be able to judge that you were not competitive in those exchanges) do a little research, make a couple of phone calls and go for it. That going to hurt you any? Wreck your pitching arm? Drive you to seek confession from your priest?

And stop taking this so personally. Yes, I'm criticizing your approach to this. Get over it. Better yet, present what you've learned. If you want to "show me up" in the process, great. I'll take it cheerfully.
