Hi Scott, I was hoping you would jump in at some stage ;-))

I was thinking exactly like you before, I did not want to post anything until it was perfect, but the bottom line is, how can it get perfect without input from the whole CF community? That's why I chose to finally stopped whining about it not being perfect and started posting parts I have documented and want to receive criticism on. > If you put something like taco did online, expect both negative and > positive reviews, and if you assume its a methodology and its really > just a guidelines or even framework, expect to be corrected > as they can > be easily confused or overlap. Criticism doesn't hurt me, it only makes me stronger, so keep it coming;-)) I love it when someone tries (or does) to break a rule or idea, it only requires me to think even more about "Why did I do it that way, why did I suggest that?".. > Imho,The more i read it, and the more i think what taco has > done; it's > more of a coding guidelines, and not so much as a pattern or > methodology. Thats my view, could be wrong dont care :) The reason i > think its so, is due to the fact there is no apparent underlying > structure to the concept. I realize that what is out there at the moment looks like just guidelines, but I hope people will see differently when I start publishing some of the methods I use for data filtering and data verification. And please, I am not trying to be better than BATFINK or any other methodology out there, as a matter of fact I am sure it won't be, I also realize that whatever you guys have is most likely brilliant and will have some functions or parts that everyone else can benefit from, but post it so we can all have a look and criticize ;-)) PS. Taking from the dictionary: meth.od.ol.o.gy A body of practices, procedures, and rules used by those who work in a discipline or engage in an inquiry; a set of working methods: the methodology of genetic studies; a poll marred by faulty methodology. The study or theoretical analysis of such working methods. The branch of logic that deals with the general principles of the formation of knowledge. Usage Problem. Means, technique, or procedure; method. If I interpret this, then I do believe what is out there at the moment can be considered as a methodology, or my English is just not good enough ;-)) Taco Fleur http://www.tacofleur.com/index/blog/ 0421 851 786 Tell me and I will forget Show me and I will remember Teach me and I will learn --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
