Woah, hey, calm down. You're stressing. It'll be ok. Really. Try some yoga
or something. =) This sort of thing is frustrating for both sides.
Limited... got it.

Subject: RE: SHTML files
Listen, I had to RTFM like everyone else. If you had read Chapter 13 of
"Developing Applications with JRun," I didn't think you would have asked the
question "What is JRun attempting to do with these files, and why doesn't it
work?"
I think I tried a little to hard to politely suggest reading the manual last
time, which you took as talking down to you. If I talk down to people
"quite frequently," I should re-examine the way I communicate on this list I
guess. What if I just said "RTFM, dude?" Even though I'm on this list
somewhat voluntarily, I don't think my colleagues at Allaire or on this list
would think that very professional of me.
If we can go back to the issue you were concerned with, the answer is that
JRun's SSI capabilities are limited. I don't know where we advertise that
we fully support SSI, or what standard of SSI we say we support anywhere,
but the truth is, it's limited. We sure don't execute PERL and CGI scripts,
nor do we implement Apache's XSSI (is that right?). If we amended the docs
to state that explicitly, would that have helped?
