You know, I had to laugh when I saw this topic because, unlike the topic Michael banned (the debate about Macromedia, bugs, whether they are listening to the community, etc.), this one has nothing to do with anything. It's the same re-hash of CF defense against all the other languages, yet it is allowed to propagate.
And I thought I was actually contributing to the other topic -- darn! I had a good response to that one. It all came down to the question of "If you don't like the credit card policy of Macromedia, what is your solution for people who need immediate help?" Of course, none of you ever saw that post (except Matt who I forwarded it to), which was a little more in-depth than that question. The reason I felt that topic was so relevant was because the developers on this list should be able to contribute to the discussion by trying to formulate some type of answer based on a consensus that might've opened a good dialogue with MM. But it was relegated to the cf-partners list, a list which, as Matt pointed out, not a lot of people read. Once again, something that was on some sort of track to "resultville" gets squashed, but detritus like this is okay. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Rohan [mailto:rob@;cardinalweb.com] > Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 3:35 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: OT:Yahoo moving to PHP > > > oof, hit a sore spot eh? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Liotta [mailto:mliotta@;r337.com] > Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 12:19 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: OT:Yahoo moving to PHP > > > People talk shit about VB more than any other language.
