>>Your post to Walter misses the point he is trying to make. You're saying that only if one has direct experience with .Net in actual production development can one offer a valid opinion. You are wrong in this assumption on several counts.

>I guess my issue is with the "expert" way thay Walter makes his - very detailed and technical - assertions. If he was quoting sources and MVPs, then cool, I would be more inclined to listen. He doesn't. Or if he has, I've missed those posts. What he does is state very detailed "facts." You can read about piano and all the classic theory - even quote Bach - but until you sit down at a bench and play, I do not feel you're opinions on playing a piano should taken seriously.

Then you would be wrong again. There are experts in the field of music, its theory and practice, whose knowledge might be immense yet they are not players themselves. Their knowledge is no less valuable. Being able to play as well adds another dimension but does not diminish the other knowledge. On your basis I cannot have an opinion about anything which I have not done directly myself. But whatever, grind your axe with Walter ...
