And I heard David Mendels started at the front desk. You're going straight to Coffee Boy, geez. ;-) I'd echo Ryan, and particularly on the part about your feedback being heard. If something's bothering you, make a good case for it, see if others agree. Such discussions do produce results. For the "wait a year" stuff, though, I'd have to reply "ship it"..... ;-) jd/adobe “I hear they need a coffee boy Evangelist.”

I've found the same here at Microsoft. I at times put my fingers in my ears when told about xyz in Silverlight , WPF etc as to me "ignorance is bliss" as i'd like to be suprised as the average joe out there... but .. it also pays to be in the know. One thing I have noticed is how passionate the communities can be on isolated topics, it's likea cross guard stepping out into traffic full of trucks at times.. basically you're going to get hurt if you try and divert/halt the flow :P Scott Barnes Web Developer Evangelist Microsoft.(New Role) Ditto dudde..
