Ed, I think you are being a bit harsh. Kristina's initial comment was along the lines of "PHP is more popular than cold fusion, and that should count for something in weighing the decision". You then replied to a casual comment with a grating and largely ad hominem response. It appears you have a lot to add to this discussion, but I would prefer to read it minus the remarks on others' "scholarship". -John C. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
