Einar,

You've gone over to the other side BUT you don't have to be the same as the existing members of the other side.

Or is talking "all hat" part of the training intrinsic to .NET?

You've joined the side that had all kinds of "reasons" not to touch a simple litlle crappy useless worthless (their words) application (RIO) for over a year yet applauded RodP when he made an equivalent (I guess) between diaper changes. You don't see some irony there?

You've joined the side that has argued since it came out that .NET is the greatest, yet needed to wait for 2.0 to even try to show some of its stuff. I have to wonder why. Don't you?

I think most of us understand that 'you can do it in .NET, you just have to do it differently'. It's just that many of us see no advantage to not only having to do something differently, but on bigger hardware with more product dependencies.

Finally, and the real point of my message here... you are quite sure that because you haven't met the app that needs lots of data munging, they don't exist except in poor imaginations of people who don't know how to design the right way anyway. I want to let you know that you are are incorrect **IF** that actually is your position.

Einar, go ahead and enjoy your new .NET programming power. Just don't be like the others and rub our noses in it. We're big boys and girls and we'll move on when each of us feels the time is right for us.

cheers
