It says quit clearly who won the "Best of Show Award"

                Thanks for partly setting the record straight.  A good
illustration of
                evil marketing practices.

                However, I don't think it's fair to say Gauntlet came in
fourth.  If
                you're going by list order, then Fort Knox came in third.
Eh?  ;-/

                OBTW, public apologies for my earlier ill-informed statement
in this
                thread about Raptor.  We had a local study done that said
that for it
                to do everything that we wanted it to do, routes would have
to be
                available to the Internet.  I extrapolated too much from
that part.  It
                was possible to cut back route availability by removing
functionality.
                But I don't (partly because of that report) have personal
experience
                with Raptor.
