Hi JIm.
I'm away for a few days and I miss the biggest thread since the EULA debates. You're the center of attention. Don't you love it? I didn't see anything here that you haven't essentially been saying for years. Why all of the debate now?.
When I first listened to you in Miami, 3 years ago, I was a little defensive too. But recently, with a new rewrite in the works, the daunting task of making 2 VERY different backends scalable made the MSDE choice a relaxing one. When I was at Whifest I talked with a group who were clients of yours and they were good at clarifiying some of the misconceptions I had.
So keep up the good work. I don't believe you are part of the "Axis of Evil", or anything worse.
Best Regards,

The impossible we do immediately.
The miraculous will take a little longer.
