Yeah, and I'm still keen to hear what he has to say. > been led to believe that there is more than a minority who follow that > practice. Sure. And it's interesting. I must do some reading up on this. It's one of these things like something that came up a couple of weeks back (maybe here, maybe CFCDEV, and I can't remember what it was), but I was truly surprised that there was a way of thinking other than how I thought about it. I don't mean that arrogantly, more meekly: the alternative to whatever it was had simply never presented itself to me, nor had it crossed my mind. I disagreed with the alternative, but it was interesting to find out about it (not so interesting I remember what it was, though, it seems...:-/ > Which may be true for him, but it's certainly not true for all and he > appears to make no allowance for those other people Sorry mate. I'm a Usenet regular where it's best to run with an implicit "in my opinion" on what people say. It's just a waste of time typing it in when you might be saying something that an opinion can be had on something. > The combination of arrogance and inconsideration is > something that just pushes my buttons. You're right, sorry. I think it's a result of people here seeming to me like every time something not completely positive is raised about CF they come across like someone's just pissed on their first born. It's just a bloody tool, and there's good things about it and there's bad things about it. Having spent eight years doing network support before getting into CF, I know one thing: people are more vociferous about the bad than they are the good. (I used to have one user who every couple of months called me up and said "nono, nothing's wrong. Just thought you'd like to hear someone *not* complaining for a change"). There's a few things I really like about CF, but what's the point of raising *those* on a forum: "hey guys, just wanted to say <cfloop> is treating me really well today". I think not. For one thing we don't need to discuss the good stuff: it's obviously (IMO!) already working the way we want it. But when we discuss the stuff that irks us, there's a chance we can have it explained to us, or voice a real concern to the manufacturers. A sh*t can come across sounding heated; it's just the nature of text-based communications. > That's not to say Adam's either > of those, it's just coming across that way to me.
