Terrifyingly, the headless body is still blundering around in webland, causing havoc. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but a "compelling web platform" is one that allows you to build what the customer asks you to build - nothing more, nothing less.

Who are you or I to decry people's decisions - we don't know on what basis they arrived at that decision. Do you never use something that you know will only last a year, but is so priced that it still represents good value for money?

Well, you better start sending emails right now to all those web-hosters who are still offering it. :-) > feel free to package it yourself, i won't. sorry ( and I do know how, that > 's the reason why I don't :) ) . and it will be back into the distribution > over my dead smoking body ;-) Now you're getting melodramatic ... -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
