Nick,
Yes, the discussions on this list were definitely a big part of this
decision, and yes, folks should voice their opinions. Macromedia (I really
have to get used to saying that) is very committed to ColdFusion - I have
been saying that for a while now, and I hope this proves it.

PS For the record, in the future, I think we can do without the foul
language that several list participants felt compelled to spew. Those
messages were not forwarded to the decision markers anyway, so they did not
effect the decision, and accomplished nothing at all. Civility and reason
seems to prevail, not potty mouth emotions.

Oh man,
This is great news. Thanks Jeff!
And so good to know that this list probably had an impact on this decision!!
As for those few that said they didn't want to get involved in the
discussions about the licensing changes, price increases and the future of
CF I hope they now appreciate the importance of discussing these things on
the list, because if we HAD listed to your advice and kept quiet... Then
this turn around WOULDN'T have happened!!!
Now put away those PHP/ASP books... We've got some coding to get on with!!!!
Thanks MM!
