That's a sad story... your opinion is about the same i've got from his
postings to the FreeBSD mailing lists.  Dennis' technical skills are
probably excellent (i don't have much clues in this area), but his
communication skills are... well, too bad that it caused Cliff's
company to stay away from Etinc.  Despite of Dennis' attitude, i've
still got the feeling that his product ain't bad.
