Same here. Where I worked as a medic had a very large population of Orthodox and Hasidim Jews and while they were very devout, they never preached. Though they would gladly answer any questions you might have. On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 4:02 PM, G Money wrote: > > One thing i've always liked about

One thing i've always liked about Judaism, and the hand full of Jewish people i've known. Strong, resolute in their faith, but not preachy about it in the least. On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 2:59 PM, Michael Dinowitz wrote: > > Not really. Judaism has a very strong anti-missionary slant. You want in,

Yeh, why bother advertising it to people who would use it. ColdFusion has always come up through the ranks by its users, not down through the ranks from bosses. Doing a pincer move to cover both sides would be nice, but you can't drop the programmer base without losing the ground gained to date.

Neither. There are Islam ads of this sort going around and it's almost summer which means the scumbags (Jews for Jesus) will be plastering NY with ads. I'm VERY anti-missionary but I guess its free speech, right? And it's a troll question anyway. :) On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 3:36 PM, G Money wrote:

Why the hell would you want to advertise Coldfusion to Programmers??? You need to advertise it to Pointy Haired Bosses and "dumb as doorknob" investors and business owners who would then Dictate to their IT departments that they should start using CF. ~
