Newcomers are seeing once again the heavy-handed insistence that the Apache method is the only method and that there is no other way to do _anything_. Responsible Apache people need to rethink their insistence on their method to the exclusion of all other methods. Whether this is due to language difficulties (US syntax versus European syntax) I know not, but some softening and flexibility in approach is called for. -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]>
