First, just because I wrote a book on e-RPG doesn't mean that that is the
only technology I will use.  Just wait for my Java book for e-RPG
programmers.  :)  Hitting stores in late 2002, just when people will want to
start tinkering. <bg>

Second, "rigid" is your opinion and point of view.

Lastley, if more Java folks should play with e-RPG.  Taking an application
and duplicating it across both technologies would show it's not as "rigid"
as some think.  (Hello World applications don't count as "I have done
e-RPG".)

Did I take the comment too serious?  Yes.  Why?  If the roles were reversed
and I posted something like this on the Java list, even with a winking
smiley, I know I'd get the **ADMIN WARNING** messages because it could be
taken as a personal attack... (archives can prove that... <bg>)
