Considering that every conversation on this list ends up in Google/Y!/MSN/etc, continuing a discussion can serve to show someone coming into the debate from another method (eg a Google search) that there *IS* some debate about a particular point. As a specific instance, I've had CFSQLTool on my evaluate list for a while now. Based on the discussion so far, I've saved the time of digging through the code and can safely move on -- the time spent reading that argument saved me some time reevaluating something that it looks like I don't need. That's a plus for me, so I'm happy about the exchange. Sean's discussion was quite justified considering how many times he was slammed for being a MM/Adobe employee. And when someone makes claims you find ridiculous, engaging in a dialog is healthy. You'll notice that while Jim and I are disagreeing, I don't think either one of us has been uncivil. And it's simple enough to filter out what email you don't want to read. Or let Mr. Dinowitz move it along. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
