Boys, boys, boys...

Jay:  You can effectively misquote someone when you take a direct quote
out of context and in essence make it mean something that the original
context didn't convey...  Whether or not that's what's happened here I
don't know, but I'm just pointing out how you can misquote even by using
a verbatim statement...

Now, in a free forum where the 'free' exchange of ideas is passed around
and advice and assistance is dolled out for 'free', don't expect
everyone to meet your idea of politically correct or polite...  Besides,
what other kind of response would you expect when you come into an ISA
forum and insinuate ISA is not a true firewall?  Especially when the
specific issue your dealing with falls with a configuration outside the
parameters of the listed specifications of the product.  It's almost
like me saying that a Ford Ranger Pickup Truck is not a true truck just
because it can't haul my 40 foot boat to the marina....

ISA's limitation is a spec...   or a limitation by design..  Therefore
it is a design spec.   A design limitation would be a limitation of
design (unavoidable without redesign)....
