Yes, I know.  I'm working through it all and getting things done as fast as
I can.

I'm just "one of many" spending/donating time trying to help others get up
to speed on the framework.  It really is a better way to write apps.

Struts has so much to offer, keep at it and don't give up!!!  We are here to
help.

Good luck.
