I don't think that Sean put a spin on what you said at all. He linked your entire post and then he focused in on your closing statement, which is your summation of the entire post. Granted, he didn't mention a thing about Adobe's interest in Shareholders, but discussed Adobe's interest in the community. While shareholders interests play an important role, it sounds to me like Sean was arguing that those interests do not conflict with the communities interests. I do agree that if abandoning ColdFusion was in the interest of Adobe's shareholders that Adobe would would dump it. However, if the community built around ColdFusion grows, ColdFusion support will grow, ColdFusion sales will increase, and the shareholder's will benefit. Having said that, I think you and Sean are right. What really matters is the shareholder's interests, but if the ColdFusion community grows it will be in their interest to continue supporting it. According to Sean, the community is growing, and therefore Adobe's support is going to remain strong (he didn't say it, but that support will remain strong because it would be in the shareholder's interests).
