Next time I'll wait an hour or so before posting in frustration.<BR/><BR/>So it seems I now find myself in the relatively new position of having my foot occupying the general vicinity of my mouth. ;) As I was figuring out my EclipseCon schedule, I just noticed last Mark Melvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14024450171676773880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149222994700540078.post-88134377391757499062008-03-16T11:18:00.000-04:002008-03-16T11:18:00.000-04:00I lead Personal Media and Community Applications f...I lead Personal Media and Community Applications for AOL and Xdrive is one of the products within that business.<BR/><BR/>With that out of the way, I actually agree with aspects of Mark's comment.

Then when they had the same difficulties I had, they at least would have had a heads up and maybe push through to the end via the bluestring.com site or whatever.<BR/><BR/>As usual, I guess you can take written things more than one way.

Of course, that does mean the code would have to be blessed somehow, and that could involve a lot of overhead.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, kudos to Mark Melvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14024450171676773880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149222994700540078.post-68932652494113570402008-03-14T17:20:00.000-04:002008-03-14T17:20:00.000-04:00AOL XDrive is just the first "provider adapter".
