Indeed, Matt. In fact my posting at all here is a minor miracle. I gave up on it quite some time ago when I was beaten about the head for expressing my opinion.
I have this reputation as being a negative whiner. But I think it's uncalled for. I have been critical of Adobe's marketing here in Australia, and I'm not alone. In fact some of the people who slammed me on this list wrote me privately and said they agreed, but weren't prepared to say so publicly. And in frustration at a few tech issues related to installation of a version some years ago, I voiced (ok strongly voiced) an opinion about what I thought should have been in the installation instructions. I'll admit I should perhaps have been a bit more temperate in my language at the time. But apart from that, I have been positive to ColdFusion and their owners of the day. ColdFusion's been my living for around 15 years so I think that testifies to some commitment on my part, don't you think? Also, i think it qualifies me to have strong opinions about some aspects of the CFML product. Since I had a background in senior management, and running major and government accounts operations in several US based and Australian high tech companies before cutting out on my own, I think that qualifies me to express opinions about Adobe's organisation here. If I don't feel I know what I'm talking about, I keep my opinions to myself.
