>>Now you sound like John Ryan. I did it before you and mine is bigger than yours. You have no idea when I started using .net or ado.net, or how many successful apps I have in production using .net. However, you don't need the facts, you make your own truths.

Not that it matters, but December 2002. I care about facts and truth; however, I'm more critical of the source. One man's opinion based on hearsay does not a fact make. Every time you're pressed on the depth of your .net experience, you weasel and then change the subject to one of your pet rants. So arguing with you is counter-productive. I just like pointing out the fallacies in your posts.
