My argument is not that they would refuse the technology because it's used by business they would rather not associate with... I think they would *not* want to be posted on a site like Rey's if they're going to be listed with porn sites.
It's the association, not the technology that's the issue...

I'd be willing to wager that the number of "adult" related sites would be such a ridiculously minimal percentage of the overall list that it wouldn't send the message "ColdFusion is for porn". Let's say 5% of the sites on the list are adult industry related (a guess based on nothing in particular). Do you really think that somebody who is contemplating using CF is going to turn around and say, "oh no... there are porn sites built with CF. i don't want my business associated with that and therefore choose not to use CF"? If that were the case, they'd also say, "oh no...there are porn sites on the Web. I don't want my business associated with that and therefore choose not to have a web presence." If you (we) start judging which sites are "acceptable" to convey a particular message, things are just going to get ugly. .....and FWIW, while I don't want to sound unappreciative of the efforts going into this site... wouldn't this thread be better suited to cf-community since it's really not technical in nature? :) -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
