I'd honestly like to hear peoples' ideas on the value of the type of application in question and how they'd go about building it. Now, if anyone has any comments on that subject, I'd really like to hear about them. If you're not personally interested in that topic, feel very free to wait for a thread in which you are interested.
If you would have taken just a couple of seconds to read the rest of both of my last posts, I've attempted to reply to people and then pull the topic back on course by speculating on something that could be built (in cf???) to accomplish a goal. Oh, by the way, your post that touched off this exchange -- very ColdFusion specific. Way to demonstrate your stated preferences there Jack, strong work indeed. --Ferg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Lavender Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 1:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: The latest news from The Planet There was nothing poorly thought out or uneducated in my comment. I would prefer that this list be Coldfusion specifics, but you were the one who deigned the list could be used to tell us what you think thePlanet should do and how you feel about the whole thing. Then we get the retoric about it having nothing to do with freedom speech punctuated with your "personal" views on how a business should handle it. I would suppose that thePlanet is doing business per their rules and just like every business in this country they will follow the state and federal laws. jack On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 08:47:55 -0600, Ken Ferguson wrote > It has nothing at all to do with freedom of speech.
