Again you repeat the same old rubbish. Instead of backing off gracefully you say:
"However, I do stand behind my statement the REST IS crap." So dismissing out of hand the contribution and work of those in Europe who have actually produced a working interface. So please now produce one that works better and I will then be convinced that you are entitled to pass such judgements. I am not at all impressed with your doing the internet equivalent of beating your drum and shouting.
