While I agree the attacks must stop, my patriotism demands that I defend my country. I simply defy anyone to find a leader more sophisticated that our very own GW.

I think everyone needs to cool down and realize that Joseph's comment was sarcastic.  I realize the sarcasm may not be easy to pick up on if English isn't your native language, but we don't need to resort to personal attacks.

Would some people please just grow up. 
 
If you don't want to use Orion then that is your decision.  Vote with your feet and leave this group to those who have valid issues to discuss.  (Oh and best of luck finding anything else that is as cheap and quick)

In once sense, but Jboss and Orion are trying to make this EJB technology available to more people.
