[Nate Abele]

Some get a kick from cocaine.  I'm sure that if I took even one  
sniff, it would bore me terrifically, too.
Yet, I get a kick out of you.

> As a complete CAKE novice, I knew/know nothing about Cake except

> Installation instructions, never mind documentation,

> Cake may be cake but it is certainly not soup!

> Cake may be indeed a great leap forward but if you can not install  
> it "out of the box" no one will ever know.
> I, personally, don't "shop around" for information that isn't where  
> it is "suppose" to be. That means that
> Cake only had one shot to impress me, they did, negatively! All the  
> whining on the planet won't fix
> an installation process that is fatally flawed.
