Probably you had no time to follow this whole stupid debate. Jonathan did exactly things like "Well, you know that'd be simple in dom4j using the ElementHandler interface..." (that's a different question that IMO he overdid it...) The brow-beating was mainly started by Velocity people... you know, they stared a false-technical discussion but they just said more and more nonsense things (which is tiresome for us in itself; sure, some answers of us was cutting because of this). Then, since it was too obvious that they are just started to debate to hit-back for some fictitious injury and they have not real technical points, *they* started the real brow-beating, to discredit Jonathan (good old well-tried method used in politic) and FM people in general, stared "bozo" things, etc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:velocity-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:velocity-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
