Hello Jeffrey, One other thing and I likely should write this off threat but I won't! I think your being wildly popular in the voting is a message to the folks at Macromedia from the folks in the CF community. I hope your understand my perspective, if your server is in the most innovative CF application category shouldn't ColdFusion MX and if so what category does my application go in?

So when you decide on your next CF purchase please don't accept these awards as meaning anything but the company has an advertising budget with CFDJ. I know this is a rant, but everyone should know the truth about this years award when you make your software purchasing decision. If you want to flame me please do it off list, as this is an FYI not a thread that needs to run forever. These all should read 'BEST CFDJ Advertisers' Best Book Best CF Web Service Best Consulting Service Best Content Management Tool Best Custom Tag or Component Best eBusiness Software Best Education and Training Best Web Application Best Web Development Tool Best Web Hosting Best Web Site or Community Most Innovative CF Application VOTING UPDATE 4/8/03: The new 'vote counting procedure'* is working perfectly, and the top slots are GUARANTEED to be filled with ColdFusion Developer Journal advertiser's. We sincerely appreciate your support and should we be named the 'ColdFusion Developers Journal Heaviest Advertiser' for 2003 we will be very proud. * As part of our 2003 Readers' Choice Awards Voting Process - ACTIVE subscribers (Advertising viewers) of ColdFusion Developer's Journal votes will be qualified as 2 points in our voting tally. New subscribers votes will count as 1 point. Subscription records are verified as of the start of voting - March 31, 2003. Kind Regards, Mike Randolph WHY I'M MAD: Please note that without this tainting we would quite likely be winning (or likely could win) the Best eBusiness Software category. The leader in the 'Most Innovative CF Application' is a ColdFusion Application SERVER, but they advertise a lot so what the heck right. ***** Why doesn't Macromedia put ColdFusion MX in Most innovative CF Application category it'd be just the same (not the right category), but at least then Macromedia wont look so silly when the OTHER SERVER wins.
