John, I apologize.  I was a horse's arse in my previous response.

Since there was a discussion of the XKL Toad-1 in the last few weeks, and
I posted explicitly as a former XKL employee, I took it on faith that if
I stated something about the internals of a piece of hardware developed by
that company, I'd be given the benefit of the doubt.

I wasn't, and it irritated me out of all proportion.

Again, my apologies.
