Try this: Everything needed to make the DR a decent wing has been made to 
the Halcyon form the factory. One sentence. Look at the latest Halcyon 
catalog and you'll see a comparison. If this is too hard for you I'll 
explain the details.

You have NO right to say this. You do not know anyone - not me anyway. I 
take pride in behaving myself on these lists at I _could_ get very 
defensive and call you something awful but I'll not do that. But if you 
keep going on making ridiculous claims like this, I will start calling you 
names.

The bad point about DIR is that not everyone has caught on to it and not 
everyone is willing to accept it. It _is_ the best way for _all_ places and 
environments.

OK, that person should probably have been less bombastic.

I don't know what your point is. Bad grammar is entertaining.
