(I did it already earlier... excuse me, I must tell, in in my humble option V is actually a kind of joke... it must be a ASF project to be such widely used and celebrated. So I have choose another other OS project, then I have realized that's also bad (a textbook example of the lack of designing ahead, and the traps of backward compatibility, an sf.net project with a stormy life-line), especially after I have invested an enormous amount of work on helping it. Anyway, I still think it's far better than V.) > or else make a new one of my own that supports NIO > and is a lot faster than V. I didn't studied too much nio yet, so the question is maybe stupid... but for my own enlightenment, and because there was some nio threads here earlier that AFAIR lead nowhere: What's the big thing that makes a template engine lot faster if it uses nio?

Absolutely. Furthermore, I found that most users are just lazy to report any bugs unless that's *really* on the way of their job. So now I think that the adequate policy is to pester them with red+blinking "PLEEEASE click here, if you have found a bug!" links everywhere, where after the clicking, they can immediately enter the bug report into a textarea, press submit, and that's all. They are sooo f***** lazy to report mistakes, I hate people sometimes because of that... you know, I think "Boy, I give you this for free, and all I ask to help me to spot the bugs." > There's no security (it doesn't stop me > from using a fake one-time email address e.g. @ mailinator.com) and all > it really does is irritate people who don't ahve the time nor really > give a [insert something here] about someone else's poxy little club of > usernames and passwords.
