>Hmmm... You brought it up, but Gerry clarified it. Microsoft is using the word "community" as a new euphemism for .NET-in-your-face. Ironic that, as you point out, this sort of "community" seems to be a code-word for something decidedly anti-social.
If that is really the case, then I would prefer to have it used instead of the "community" term. I prefer to be confrontated with real facts that I can rely on instead of having to read between the lines.
