You're the second person to say "you sound scared". That seems to be a fairly typical response in the face of a reply to what is essentially a difference of opinion.

 

 

Neither I, nor F5, is "scared" of o3's solution - or any other solution. We believe our solution is the best option and as indicated by many responses, other people believe their chosen option is the best solution.

 

 

Would you prefer a bland, pedantic response? Something written by marketing that very carefully chooses all the right words?

 

 

If you want to interpret my words as "scared" I can't stop you but it's an incorrect interpretation.
