There are fanatics in every group and that's why we have a twit filter < bg >. If I had to guess, I would say that I "annoyed" 5 developers to be on their twit filter but I don't care. Note that I always appreciate the comments offered by Mr. Moore, Rauh, Strahl, and Tasker and that I do agree with a lot of what JVP is saying. There are several other non-MVP out there that I often learn from but I wanted to rstrict this post to widely recognized experts.
