two things... 2nd to last paragraph:
"...considered another strong step by Adobe on its way to dismentaling ColdFusion." dismentaling? last paragraph: "What Adobe is doing with ColdFusion is very similar to what Borland did in 1986. They bought Ashton Software for the sole purpose of killing dBase IV, which competed with Borland's Paradox at the time, and they did," said one industry insider." their "industry insider" is a moron. if Borland bought Ashton for the sole purpose of killing off a competing product... wouldn't that imply that Adobe -had- a product that was competing with CF? it's a ridiculous analogy that doesn't come close to holding true. It just reeks of sys-con being really really really bitter. especially this part (also from the 2nd to last paragraph): "According to some in the ColdFusion community, Adobe's destruction of ColdFusion started by pulling the plug on a 10 year-old institution, ColdFusion Developer's Journal " it's really a shame that they can't be held responsible for lying in print (can they?). shouldn't there be some sort of system in place whereby somebody can say, "hey sys-con... produce me one (just ONE) person in the CF community that feels that Adobe's destruction of CF started by pulling the plug on CFDJ". shouldn't there be *some* level of accountability?
