Maybe this is a subject to start a new list on. It's really not the kind of
discussions I joined this list for.
Jonathan comes over every now and then to let us know about the great new features in FreeMarker. Then, once the message is delivered, usually in a concise and pleasant manner, he'll stop out of respect for not wanting to clog the list with too many off-topic comments or start any heated discussions.

Henning, have you heard of the "ad-hominem" fallacy?
That's where you make a personal attack on somebody else's character because you can't deal with what they're saying via legitimate debate.
I infer from the ancient Greek origin of the term that this particular ploy was already well known and dissected a loooong time ago.
So, it's really really oooold. You really ought to try to do a bit better than this. Try to maintain a higher standard of discourse, because this kind of thing reflects poorly on your work. People will likely draw negative inferences. (I already have, for example.)
Regards,
Jonathan Revusky
