Yes, it is more clear now. Thank you. Like I said in my blog entry, I think you guys are doing a great thing here. To me, additional servers that run CFML is a great thing, because it helps CFML spread. If you have 50 people programming for MX, 20 for BlueDragon, 5 for Railo, and 5 for the others, you've got 80 people that all say "I'm a ColdFusion programmer". The more people that say that, the better off we ALL are, regardless of which server we use.
