It's funny my gut reaction was that we had an imposter posting under Mike Hudack, I've never known him to be so blunt and harsh.
But then I've got to say, as a non-programmer... drupal, plone and the whole CMS thing... are atrocities that developers foist onto everyday users... "oh but look at how great it is, and what you can do with it!" He programers it's what YOU can do with it! Drupal, plone and CMS systems are for developers not real live human beings whom are non-uber geeks. I cannot TELL you how many times I've had someone foist drupal, plone or some other CMS on me when all I needed was a PBwiki or a wordpress install. 99.99% of people don't want or need a big swiss army knife of a CMS system. They need the single tool they need and that's it. Just some observations. It's absolutely nothing persoanl with drupal... I actually want drupal and plone and all those other great CMS to succeed... but unless you have a developer on call 24x7 drupal is not for the every user. There, I've really shown my colors. I'm a technological neophyte. The illusion of my knowing anything at all is shattered. :) Peace, -Mike mmeiser.com/blog mefeedia.com On 12/5/06, sull <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > lol. > i suppose, yeah. > kinda harsh, even if you're not a fan of drupal. > if you dont use it or like it, no harm done. many people do like it and > *know* how to use it well. > better to have it exist than not ;) > > sull > > On 12/5/06, Mike Hudack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > You ask because you think that's a crzy thing to say? > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: [email protected] <videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com> < > > [email protected] <videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com>> > > To: [email protected] <videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com> < > > [email protected] <videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com>> > > Sent: Tue Dec 05 21:05:49 2006 > > Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: Media RSS what? > > > > are you at a bar drinking beers? > > > > On 12/5/06, Mike Hudack <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mike%40blip.tv>> wrote: > > > > > > The sooner Drupal goes away the better off we all are. > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > > From: > > > > [email protected]<videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com><videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com> > > > > [mailto:[email protected] > <videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com><videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com>] > > > On Behalf Of > > > > [EMAIL > > > > PROTECTED]<groups-yahoo-com%40mmeiser.com><groups-yahoo-com%40mmeiser.com> > > > > Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 5:33 PM > > > > To: > > > > [email protected]<videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com><videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com> > > > > Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: Media RSS what? > > > > > > > > I like the idea, but wouldn't it serve vloggers on the whole > > > > more if it was an addition to wordpress. > > > > > > > > Also, isn't ourmedia running on drupal.
