Yep, my bad. Jesse B's response was so aggressive, I just assumed it 
was the original poster reacting. 

My complete apologies to Sam. He gets a few karma points for _not_ responding.

Re: Want to move into .Net?

Nice Larry. Exactly.

Where did everyone's sense of humor go?

I thought the original email was a little lacking in CF thrust for an
email on a coldfusion jobs list. (I personally would have emphasized
more the need for a skilled Coldfusion programmer to own the existing
app to understand the conversion from the ground up).

I also thought the response was pretty funny.

I certainly didn't think it required any sort of response from the
original poster, unless a "ha, ha. Do you want the job? you know you
are jealous" type of humor-rebuttal.

And it went downhill from there.

Wow. We have some uptight folks.

I assume I must also be one of them. My promise for the holiday season
and the new year is to come to the table more upbeat.

Jerry

Here's my take on whole discussion, I'd rather see it go the way of a
bad hair salon  - curl up and dye.

regardless,

happy holidays all.

RE: Want to move into .Net?

Consider this - if CF was the inferior product, you would have had the same
defensive reaction.  Perception is everything.

IMO a good developer has skills that transcends any tool kit.  Put a good CF
developer in a .net environment for 6 months to a year, and I bet they will
become a good .net developer.  Isn't this in everyone's best interest?  I
would think we would want to foster and encourage these types of job posts.
And I bet the silent majority on this mailing list would agree w/ me.  We
are all interested in more jobs afterall.  Thats why we subscribe to this
list.

Happy Holidays everyone!

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"?  :)
