Taboos aren't really the issue. Spending valuable time and energy in
unfruitful debates is an issue. <br>

People at times have been accused of various different things in this
list just because they dared to ask something! And all you have to say
is that this is an unfruitful debate?<br>
<br>
For me the whole debate is VERY fruitful if the next user who dares to
mention the dreaded word "performance" is spared the irony and the
bashing.<br>

Then, please recommend it to all cases and not just in my case. <br>
<br>
Tony's reply was not so brief either, so, please go ahead and say the
same to him. That is, only if you care to appear impartial.<br>
<br>
Me on the other hand, I'd prefer an actual reply to my arguments,
instead of dismissing the entire discussion for the sake of brevity. Up
to now I have seen more evasion tactics than arguments against the
points I've made. <br>

P.S. - Just a clarification: Using SIPp is a "fake" test to do
200/400/600/xxx calls per second. Getting thousands of actual humans
making actual calls is a "real" test. In other words, since SIPp can
only do so much its test results are of limited value in the real world.<br>
</blockquote>
Really, is this what a "fake" test is? Because I thought that it was a
test that never actually happened. English is not my native language,
but at least I know that much.<br>
<br>
What you wrote in your P.S. is so wrong in so many ways. For the "sake
of brevity" I will only say that it is a bad attempt to cover Tony's
rude reply to a list user and I'll leave it at that for the moment. <br>
<br>
Otherwise we will have to get in a discussion of what a test is, what
is a "real" as opposed to a "fake" test and whether sipp or test tools
in general have limited value in the real world. I don't have a problem
with long discussions, but is seems they are not favored in this
context so I'll pass for the moment, until the circumstances require
it. <br>

Perhaps you should add a size restriction directive in the mailing list<br>
policy, along with a "no performance questions allowed" directive. That<br>
should clear things up significantly.<br>

<div>Would you be willing just to let the subject go? I think
everyone is tired of this thread. <br>

Tired? Now you can speak for "everyone"? I know quite a few people who
are actually reading this thread with lots of interest.<br>
<br>
Sure, I'm willing to let go... Are you? <br>

Have a great weekend,<br>
