happier developing at joda or would you prefer see that code as the basis for a commons primitives 2? > (If you were bored you could look at the original discussions and you'd > find Rodney was the main instigator of the component and that the design > changed at one point initially with my consent and then I changed my mind) thanks: i'll try to track this stuff down > Anyway, thats the history lesson, and we are where we are.
