| Comment | Mr. Khan answered competently my several questions concerning very recent and fairly obscure technology. He brought to light issues which I had not considered, and provided me with a rough, but useful and cost-effective, idea of where to begin educating myself through experimentation in the subject of my interst. He gave me the information I need to begin researching a subject outisde of his area of expertise, as well. Finally, he responded politely and with disciplined restraint to my ranted political opinions, which is more than most people can do, even if they do agree with them. Thank you, Arshad. Much appreciated. | ||
