Wes, I have no interest in getting into a dicksize flamewar. All I wanted to
do was make the pithy comment that SGI shouldn't call it scalable if it only
goes small. If you think I'm unqualified to make an off-the-cuff remark,
please feel free to ignore it.

There are people who DO use 1,000+ nodes for non-benchmark purposes. I DO
work with them already. I don't think my experience is very relevant to
making comments about scalability; anyone can look at the Top500 list and
other sources and get an idea where supercomputing is going.
