This is very enlightening. I've wondered for a while whether the
ComScire generators were good, but haven't had time to do a detailed
investigation. Fortunately the way the manufacturers respond to
expert technical criticism is the best determiner there is of snake

Clue: When someone like GGR criticises you, you start by thanking him
for taking the time to examine your design.
