Sorry, I'm just not a SOAP fan. Call it a vi versus emacs thing, I
just can't be converted no matter how many religious zealots come
knocking on my door.

I'm not a SOAP user so who am I to say.

At this point, I can't be converted into using SOAP because it
is peer-to-peer and not multi-peer to multi-peer.

Some people say that it is slow and chunky and that to me seems
to indicate low fun factor.

But obviously it is the "mainstream" and here we are boutique
and who cares if never the twain shall meet. We're all having
fun...

Best Regards

David
