Excuse me who has been very hostile to the open source community, for instance your recent comment on CFEclipse is a very good example. Or your comments about Open BlueDragon when it first started for another.
And you cannot say its a defensive matter on your part. So when you start that sort of crap its hypocrisy on your part. If anything the Open Source community in CF is trying to grow the CF community. The only hostility I've really seen has been on YOUR part. The fact is that the availability of alternative open source engines deflates the often used argument against CF about it costing too much. Moreover the open source CF engines serve to get more into coldfusion. For instance 3 sites I've developed started off using Open BlueDragon. Later each one of those moved up to CF Standard. That is something that would not have happened without the open source CF engine. With your attitude towards the open source community, its serving to hurt further expansion of the CF community. That is detrimental to Adobe's bottom line in the long run. >Russ, > >You're preaching to the choir... well except for that last part which is >ridiculous.
