Hmm. No explicit comparison was made, but since the post is a cautionary
tale (well, the post is a rambling mess, but I think it is trying to be a
cautionary tale) I think the comparison is understood.

But if the comparison must be explicit, as you seem to be saying, then I
have to concede the point.

Best regards,
