A self reply, as I think my knee-jerk vitriol wound up obscuring the point I was trying to make.

If I can turn the simmering rage down to about a 4, the real problem I've seen around this is a number of admins who knew CF2 very well, and didn't want to learn about 3-- so despite the former's deprecation, still insist upon deploying it. This is precisely the kind of unadaptable mindset that results in the type of admin that was referenced in Mr. Burgess's comments. What I'm trying to convey more clearly is that it's not the tool itself, it's what goes into the tool selection. Thanks to Mark Bergman for helping me to clarify what I was going for. -- Corey _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
