Hello David!

I don't think this is applicable to -basics, so replying to -theory, 
and personally in case you don't carry that list.

First, 'what Duif said'.

Further, I will never waste my time with J. CGI is 100% compatible 
with everything out there. J works for those foolish enough to enable 
it. J is the equivalent of asking every random user on the net 'hey, 
please alpha test my code, all bets off if it crashes your 
browser/OS'.

Strictly MHO. Have a :) day!
