JoeO, I'm going to talk you in a way that may bother you...
<flamebait>
DON'T STAND FOR IRONFLARE... they may or may not be rightfully accussed,
but assuming their defense without being a part of the company hurts them,
because
they seem to have run out of reasons; almost look like awaiting the best
offer...
And it hurts us, because with each reply that doesn't come from them, our
positions
grow weaker and you'll start to see an awful lot of them unsubscribe
messages
</flamebait>
I love Orion, but I regret to say I don't trust it any further than I can
throw it

Of course, this is a little unfair - weblogic hadn't had a new release for
several months, either. They've just had a major release recently, which
makes it seem like they're more active than Orion, when that's not
necessarily the case. It might be, but that's not implied by the situation
at present.
For the most part, Orion is still very much ahead of the pack, and the
speed is stil EXCELLENT. While I'm very much looking forward to a new
round of released bug fixes, I'm still waiting for some things to shake
out before I abandon ship.
