Thank you. While this is truly a horrific thing, I have to ask myself "is a cold fusion technical discussion list the right place to discuss my feelings/anger/outrage over such an event?" And then I am forced to answer myself "No, it is not.", Afterall, I have friends, family, and other resources available to aide in venting. I'll be patiently waiting for the list to get back on track.

It was a tragic event and talking is needed. I think that the time for leniency for this list has past. Please move the OT topics and discussions over to CF-Community. Lets try and get back on topic which is tech. I don't want to seem callous but we've got to get back into focus. > At a time like this .. on a COLDFUSION technical list, now we have a bloody > gun control flame war???
