Hi Robert,

You are changing the words and misrepresenting what I wrote.

I wrote:

"An archival layer, (ala Bill Inmon) can be developed on the basis of being non-lossy if one likes."

I did not say it the CIF was defined to be non-lossy and I have not shifted the argument.

Further, if you make accusations of people peddling fraudulent ideas, perhaps you would be responsible enough to actually read the responses that some people spend their time and effort to make to your comments.

I read your comment:

"I have not read your extensive posting thoroughly given its length."

And I ask myself, why would I bother spending my valuable time assisting people like you on this forum if they have an attitude like this.

Best Regards
