Usually when you are slapping me around...never.
Hmmm, not sure I agree, but ... I'll accept the complement :)
I just posted a more obtuse message which said about what you said,
but more
obtusely.
I've done some writing for newspapers, there's nothing better for
learning to be concise (though I do tend to ramble on in private typed
communication, regardless, but imagine how much worse it would be if I
hadn't been subjected to editorial standards earlier on?)
Anyway, the old line, "who, what, when, where" (and then "stop
writing") isn't a bad thing to keep in mind :)
I'll just lament that for some unknown reason most of AOL's liasons
to the
AOLserver community have had a noticeably corrosive effect on
'community',
most notably upon the documentation effort.
Dossy means well, but sometimes it's perhaps hard to remember that
some of our users really, really, depend on AOLserver to operate
consistently, well, and maintain backwards compatibility.
I know of at least two universities, each with 40K+ users, who are
probing (vaguely in my direction), for an Apache-hosted version of the
openacs .lrn platform. Um, to pay for it, I mean.
Most openacs users have refused to move to 4.5, because 4.0.10 works
well and bad experiences testing 4.5 with their sites.
That should be cause for pause for those who think there's no problem
here ...
