Ah, yes, I keep forgetting that not everyone is a one man band :)

I don't know how many WM users actually fit the organisational  paradigm 
that has always been espoused in the WM philosophical discussions of java 
gurus and template monkeys. 

To the extent that this paradigm ever had any actual instances I suspect 
that they migrated to VM land a while back. 

I share Alex's reasons for sticking with WM, its a good natured league of 
gentlemen. 

I very much appreciate the fact that WM has not been abandoned, and I 
still dream of committing something one day. 

thanks a lot everyone

Tim
