Roy, I think that if people come forward and say "Hi, we think this is a cool idea..." then we should listen to them. What I didn't know, and therefore what i went to find out, was where they go next. I expected to find some more positive ideas and some support for investigating the idea. Rather than simply being negative you've done what you have developed a habit of doing which is come back with suggestions that don't fit your initial reaction - which in this case offer an approach that is basically what I was enquiring about! > If the latter, then it is a mailing list and not an ASF project. > The ASF hosts many such mailing lists, including this one. I don't think anyone is contradicting that and I'm certainly not. However, when people come up with the germ of an idea there isn't an obvious start point. If we're to take something positive from this then it should be that we need to advertise where the start point is for new ideas and get the incubator project to publish some more details on what it's all about and what it's not meant to do. It never ceases to amaze me how simple discussions get so blown out of proportion... david --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
