Dakota, Thanks for wanting my input :-) I am not looking for censorship, but I am looking for productive discussions and sometimes that means pruning one discussion for the sake of another. I tend to agree that this thread should move onto the dev board; it seems to be the appropraite place, in my eyes, for discussion on project management, patches, and the future vision of Struts. I don't think it is a difficult thing to transpose these discussions there, so, if probably will hold off on this thread until it moves over. I just don't want to penalize true user questions here, since some people need real development help, and I think having a ton of philosophical inbound mail detracts from it.
