I don't know Steve views on .NET and thus will refrain to comment on the
subject. I agree that folks are looking to make informed decisions and
I also believe there are way too many unbalanced discussions on this forum.
Please continue to expound your views if you believe they benefit the
community.

As I said privately in an old message, I enjoy the majority of your posts
and I do believe they are useful because they force people to take a serious
look at why they are doing things a certain way. Nothing wrong with going
against the majority if yoy believe in what you are doing.

Glad to see you're back,
Daniel
