>>You will probably discount this given my own political views, but I did not in fact know Julie Lerman is a lefty. She looks like one, I'll concede that. And yeah, Vermont. Still, I read her every month in MSDN Magazine, have both editions of her EF books, and have watched some of her videocasts. Not once has she mentioned politics. Maybe you got into conversation at an MVP event or something and so know things I don't. Maybe your own views set her off ;-)

>Why should I know who Andrew Brust is? I just looked him up and it looks like he swims in the same pond you do. Nothing wrong with that but that doesn't mean he should be known to all as part of general knowledge.

Andrew is the NYC .NET User Group leader and he is one of the authors of the "Programming SQL Server 2005" book (I guess he has a newer version of this book also).
