Okay, let me douse this flame before it gets out of
control. The main reason I was disappointed about
the book is that I was misinformed. I was under the
impression that there was information in the book
that I couldn't find anywhere else. I was even more
disppointed when I found out there wasn't. Which
brings me back to my original point: there isn't
really a standard and I think there ought to be.
I'm not suggesting that Steve or anyone else should
be soley responsible for maintaing the standard, or
that 100% conformance should even be considered a
goal. But a document that says, "These are the
best/most common practices used by the Fusebox
community as of ..." would be a wonderful help.
To those of you who contributed to the the book and
Fusebox.org, please don't get me wrong. I appreciate
your work.
