ACK

While I can understand why you might think that Johannes was being
smug, I doubt if he really meant to be.  Please try to presume the
best intent. :-)

As Dan points-out, Johannes main point (i.e. convert data at system
boundaries) makes plenty of sense.  Please do take the time to tell
us what he is missing?

Thanks,

John
