This is unbelievable... A message dedicated to the memory of Vernon as community manager has now been turned into another "Is ColdFusion Dying? If so how will I eat, Macromedia HATES us, WAHHHH" thread.
Tony, No, I don't think CF is going to go by the wayside, but then again, we could all not be here tomorrow. It all makes me want to just hide under the bed 'til the world ends. The problem here is people who like to preach "doom and gloom". If Jeremy Allaire sneezes, I'm sure there will be a thread tomorrow about how he has a horrible disease and there won't be anyone to champion our cause at MM any more. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony Weeg [mailto:tony@;navtrak.net] > Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 4:30 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: SOT: Sad Day > > > does anyone really think cf could go by the wayside? > > ..tony > > Tony Weeg > Senior Web Developer > Information System Design > Navtrak, Inc. > Fleet Management Solutions > www.navtrak.net > 410.548.2337 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Adrocknaphobia Jones [mailto:adrocknatalk@;hotmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 4:23 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: SOT: Sad Day > > > Jeff, > > I'll back you up.
