I can't say. Happy now? :o) I thought putting the information out there was warranted. Perhaps I will not share in the future since everything is questioned (particularly when the information is not something someone wishes to hear). There is a lot of 'attacking the messenger' here on the UT. If I don't post links supporting whatever I write, then everything is questioned. If I post links then I see derisive comments posted on the number of links I post as well. I think the information should be known, and anyone who wishes to consider it can do the research themselves. A good rule of thumb is to always question everything, I agree. If someone writes something that you question or disagree with, do some research and learn for yourself.

>Cool. I specifically said I don't know if she's right or wrong. I just object to someone quoting research to add authority to what they say and not telling us what it is. We don't know if it's from Gartner, the Society for the Advancement of C# over VB.Net, or whoever.

>There are some cases where a company pays big bucks for a survey or white paper, and they're not allowed to disseminate its contents outside their organization. If Tracy had said she can't say who it is, that's one thing. That she won't say, that's something else.
