Alright, this thread was off-topic, and I wasn't going to respond, but,
personally, I think Jon *has* toned down the presentation of his opinions,
and I sent him a quick thank you several days ago to let him know I
appreciated it. It can be hard to recognize change for the better in
someone when you have a certain opinion of them, and I think this is
clouding the discussion right now. Personally, I thought this list was for
discussing the development of Tomcat. Perhaps someone could create a
jon-flames and jon-advocacy mailing lists for these kinds of conversation?
