I am pretty much at the same place you are. The only conclusion I have 
managed to arrive at so far is that the effect you are seeing is because 
WebSphere does everything.

I remember having these same thoughts about Domino two years ago, but I now 
understand that Domino can't do everything. For the things it can't do (I'm 
not clear on these) you need WebSphere.

You'll also need MQ. MQ is a different kind of product to Domino and 
WebSphere. It can't do everything but it is needed everywhere.

I'm told that with Domino, Websphere and MQ you can do anything. In fact I 
would bet that any kind of e-question at all will provide a 90% likelihood 
of one of the above products being mentioned,  a 75% chance of two and 
around 40% probability of all three.

I'll be interested in any sensible answers :)

Cheers
Evan Harris
