I have noticed that this list has sort of gotten a little less talkative and simply more to the actual "point".
I guess for me personally the blog scene has been far more useful, that and being tied up with about 4 different languages at any one time, i sort of get distorted in my questions / theories :) and find it hard to remember what CFMX programming was like heheheheh... funny thing for me was a few weeks ago i couldn't remember how to do a select tag i kept going <selectbox> damn! why isn't it working!.
So yeah for me its being disjointed from CFMX for far too long. I'm slowly getting my head out of the Macromedia clowds and back into the CFMX/HTML scene again and damn i've missed it.
As to my point? simply put i think we all have in some way evolved and finding CFMX to be a secondary principal in our day to day development maybe? if its not another language your casually courting then it'd be something else?
At anyrate, its nice to have a list thats not high qouta in same questions asked, but worded differently... see FLASHCoders for a sneek peek at OMG!.
I've noticed ol Steve-o hasn't been as vocal as he once was? i know back in the day Steve and I had far too much to say and people would go "between you and steve, scott, man you guys are crazy mofos".. that also stopped me from writing my usual essay posts (much like this one) for simple questions...as people would go "oh here we go, another barnesy war & peace novel.." or "..whens the book signing scott.."
I have no point, Its too late and i'm losing the plot.
Bye.
Scott.

a theory on why the cfaussie list is so quiet (compared to, say, last year). Tick any as appropriate…
1) Gary Menzel is right: everyone is hard at it, no one has time to ask Q’s
2) CF as a platform is so well sorted that any grief has been encountered and solved. The enveloped has been successfully pushed.
3) the cfaussie archives are brilliant with easy answers to just about everything covered.
4) competition. Other lists, blogs and Googling are doing “quite nicely” in providing help.
I’ve seen this before. the ASPfriends lists were v.high volume 1998 - 2000 but went deathly quiet after that (around the time ASP.NET was introduced).
any thoughts?
cheers
