No, I used to regularly eat with publicans and sinners in the Java groups,
trying to spread a little Truth, Justice, and the American Way, until Java
finally died. I still pop in for a snack from time to time, see how the few
remaining stragglers are doing.
And it was pretty funny actually, watching Java and the Javapologists
self-destruct (yeah, I got a slightly sick sense of humor). Just like Maozilla
is doing.

YOU'VE BEEN PEEKING!

BAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!
That happened when again? Was that around the time the JavaWordperfect project
was mercifully killed?

Um, yeah, that pretty much happened, but since there were no Java developers,
that clearly wasn't the reason.
Or can you show me a non-embarrasing Java app? Like say a "Jazilla"? Oh,
wait...

No, like I said, Java died, so I largely stopped beating that dead horse's
owner, and found a dying horse who's owner I could perhaps beat some sense into
before it was too late.
But it's already too late, isn't it friend?
