Dear JVP

>>Employing a little common sense and reviewing the *current issues* was all that was required. To do what you did would be tantamount to diving into a pool - from the high dive - without checking to see if there was H2O in the pool...;)

Nyuk nyuk! I hope you let MS, Oracle and IBM know what silly-billies they were as well, since they all committed to Java at the same time as I did? I think I moved away from Java before MS did, too.

>>I am alway intrigued by new things. Something does not have to be out for a long time in order to be subjected to the "smell" test. .NET passed the small test...Java did not.

Is this the "research" to which you referred? Thought so.

>>What can I tell you...some people are better at evaluating technology than others...;)

As the wise man said, "he that makes no mistakes isn't making much". I'm sure that one day you'll make a mistake, then you'll understand ;-)
