Firstly I would like to second Dossy on the quality of the aolserver community. In addition I would like to say that one of the biggest reasons why the aolserver community has life in 2006 and is of such a high calibre is because of Dossy himself.
I also want to say that I was joking in the comment quoted below. Weak technology (especially expensive weak technology) gets me a little hot under the collar sometimes but I don't think there was any real "flaming" going on. I was reminiscing about a time when usenet meant an athena-lib X11 client on a monochrome screen at university (a really *big* monochrome screen mind you) more than I actually thought that real flaming was going on. That said the conversation did get a little off topic and I hereforth promise not to say anything too negative about Sybase on this mailing list again! Regards, Mar Aufflick.
