Hi Pat. (Damn this gmane interface's top-posting prohibition!) Of course, your point is valid in the general case. But when converting a project to a beta release, we should expect to get our hands dirty, don't you think? I've only been using Tapestry for a year, but the component code is actually pretty simple to get into. Still, I'm not playing with version 4 yet. > That's the thing that always makes me a little uncomfortable about > open source communities.

Well, happily this list is quite different, don't you think? Personally, I try to remember to start every email with a greeting, and sign off with my name. Even little bits of netiquette like that can make emails much friendlier. > I guess what I'm saying is give the guy a break. Well, I think everyone here has done just that. I see Robert has just posted some helpful suggestions. Assuming there are no more new bugs to be found there. ;-) Cheers, Nick. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
