Yes Larry, I got that you think it's *CRAZY* *BAD* advice after the THIRD eMail came through to me.
It wasn't advice first of all, it was one possible alternative. Should we hide ways of doing things from people simply because we don't believe they are the best approach, or even because they are generally regarded as bad ideas? I'd hope you would say we shouldn't. Your adamant response indicates closed-mindedness, which is never a good thing. I absolutely have no problem with you saying that most people would say that scriplets aren't the way to go. *I* would agree with that, and I am not a fan of taglibs. Still, I certainly see the argument for avoiding scriplets and I agree with it. And wouldn't you agree that a thorough understanding of all the alternatives will allow a person to make a better decision for themselves? Instead of simply saying something is a bad approach, isn't it better to show all the paths one could take and have them ON THEIR OWN come to the conclusion that one path is probably better than the other? I would argue that simply declaring one way to be bad without giving someone the knowledge about it so they can SEE FOR THEMSELVES why it's bad is WORSE than them using that option. Besides all that, declaring it to be bad to NEVER use a tool is limiting and ultimately worse in my book. There may indeed be cases where scriplets are a better choice than taglibs, and it would be foolish in my opinion to disount the option out-of-hand. No personal offense taken by the way, but I do think the closed-mindedness of your premise is kind of offensive on a technical level, if you can see the distinction :) -- Frank W.
