Thanks for the link Craig. I haven't started digesting any of this yet. I'm so far behind on some of this stuff. =0(

But, I just got a couple of WCF books on my Kindle to start reading (well, actually I got a couple of free samples to see which book I think might be best to buy ... now to start perusing).

Thanks,
