Hi guys,

Is it me, or you too have noticed an active participation of Howard in the
answering of questions here on the list in recent
times?
In the past when Tapestry was popular his ego and pompous attitude made him
feel too high to even bother to read people's request for help.
But now with the rising of excellent frameworks like GWT and Wicket all
offering an excellent alternative to Tapestry his ego has dropped massively
and he has resorted
back to basics. He started like this anyway and I'm personally glad he's
going back to his roots. He deserved to be praised for turning back to the
humble Howard I knew when Tapestry started in the beginning.  It's rather
unfortunate that competetion had to awaken him. This is a real example of
the popular saying that
goes "Competition is a good thing", though. Having said that, I must also
mention that this might be too late to save Tapestry.
Looking at the traffic the past times here on the list, one can see there is
a serious reduction in the use of Tapestry. And that bothers me.
I persnally think Tapestry had dipped into a deep coma. And from what I know
many that fall in coma ultimately come out dead.
Though I'm still hoping for the best for Tapestry. I have a huge codebase
written in Tapestry. I don't want to go
the route like theserverside.com went by ditching Tapestry and starting all
over again.

Regards,
Emmanuel
