Hi, Joe, This is certainly a reasonable request and I don't take it personally at all. I don't think what I have said is overblown. I will add more later, but for the moment let me say that one needs to articulate what Struts does and ask what is left with the new proposals. I will add more on that later today if I find the time. We can all do that, however. I do think that, if you want in any sense what Struts has been, I don't think what I said is alarmist but true. If not, I certainly would like to get the truth clarified. I have found your contributions to be clear, thought, and sound at all levels. I am more than happy to meet this request.
