1. Have you forgotten http://j2ee.lagnada.com/struts/html-buttons.htm?
2. History is riddled with examples of 2 or more people inventing/creating the same (fundamentally the same) thing simultaneously. Sometimes they were aware of the race, sometimes not. Witness the Wright brothers vs Samuel Langley. Or how about the fact that Alexander Graham Bell applied for his "telephone" patent a mere TWO HOURS before Elisha Gray? 3. And, since it's Friday, a couple of quotes: If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulder of giants. - Isaac Newton If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders. - Hal Abelson In computer science, we stand on each other's feet. - Brian K.

It is purloined from www.michaelmcgrady.com and other discussion on this list. Michael did not even know the reasons for most of the code when he first proposed it as his own. To think he could have coded it under those circumstances would be akin to expecting a monkey to randomly type a novel. So, I would be very hesitant, if I were a committer, to accept his authority to offer this code. On 7/21/05, Michael Jouravlev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Whoa, finally!
