I knew you two would work it out. :) You're both such long-standing
members of the list, peace was inevitable.

I feel a little proud of you, maybe because I've known you so long. It's
like watching evolution happen, or your kid growing up. Your expertise
is pretty amazing.

BTW, you know that LiveCode has a server product that does what you're
doing? Not the web plugin, but a server-based solution that works like
PHP. Variety is good though, the more the merrier.
