That's a quick decision for someone who has been around here for only 2Comments are invited.

Then again, we should feel honoured because of the email avalanche you
caused during that short period, in comparison with:

Anyway: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=243200 :
"In 4 years of college I knew more about computers than all of
my profs together. Why? Cause I taught myself. Teaching one's self is
rewarding but difficult. You MUST struggle. You must figure things out
the hard way."
Pardon me if I find your decisions somehow 'unstable'. I find it a pity
to see you post this kind of judgement after so many people have been actively trying to help you (and still do). Sure there is stuff that Cocoon fails to do. I just think you are the type of person who will always find something that will warrant _not_ using something you haven't created yourself.
In case you start wondering why I'm so up-close and personal about this: you really seem to forget this is _not_ a product, but an open source _project_, envisioned, created and supported by a community of real people. We are not being protective about our work, and we will readily admit its problems, but if all we get is yet another "gee I'm gonna leave 'coz this sucks" reply from you, I'm pretty sure I won't be the only one who just stops reading your mails.
Oh well - flame me, I can handle it. I'm sick of seeing nice people trying to help you, and you just spreading FUD in return. This is the third inflamatory email I composed to you during the past few days, and this time, I won't refrain from sending.
If you are such a top dog, consider contributing.
Take care,
