I'll bet if you sat in one of my ten week classes and observed other students, you'd learn to love them too.Surely you can anticipate the comeback? ;-)
Nah. It's OK. SPs are cool. If you use NET and don't need mobile databases and have written off L2S, they're one of the more viable choices for lots of data access needs. With Cloud around the corner, seems to me there will be other opportunities for a good trainer, though. We'll see. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
