I was going to point out a similar thing :)

It sounds like Richard has built up a useful flow/toolkit for doing 
LC-based server apps - the fact it doesn't use LC Server is immaterial. 
After all, its what it enables people to do which is important, not the 
manner or means of implementation.

Okay, so for existing projects which use LC Server there would be a 
porting cost - but that would be worth it if the benefits outweigh the 
time taken to port across. However, there are more projects which are to 
be written in the future than exist now - so for new 'green field' 
projects, the choice as to underlying technology is still to be made.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
