to all: yes, i can see where the "take the next step" wasn't meant to imply that .NET was the "next step *up*" over ColdFusion. But... that's (obviously) how i originally read it.
for the record, i would never in a million years tell somebody -not- to learn something new. it's all about being marketable and having more tools in your toolbelt. with that being said... if i was the original poster, i might have phrased the post a bit differently just to err on the side of caution. i took it one way (i won't say the "wrong" way because i still see how it can be taken either way), as did others (apparently). c'mon... would it have been so hard to have just said, "Add a new tool to your tool belt"? :) >Charlie Griefer wrote: >> moving this where it belongs. >> >> Jesse - with all due respect, the original poster posted an ad to a >> COLDFUSION list, which clearly insinuated that .NET is the better >> technology.
