Also, to everyone:

When taking the time to answer a question, perhaps it would be better to utilize the time for improving the docs and linking to there? I want to remind everybody we have a wiki at http://stw.castleproject.org/ where the docs will live, and one that hopefully will replace
using.* site and our anakia-based docs.

It has twofold effect - our docs get improved, people get the message "Castle has good docs, look for answers there", plus we get links
from SO to our website which I think is not bad from SEO standpoint.

    Henry and Hamilton, can we please please please get it closed?

    Mauricio,
    Don't take this the wrong way but, I noticed you keep on answering
    questions there, that may be the reason why people keep on posting
    over there.

    Cheers
