I truly admire your patience, John.

I find it too frustrating to deal too much with those who will not read what is written. Or who can only hear when the words agree with their own thoughts, whether from someone with "real experience" or not.

Good luck, and cheers

Every time it seems to come from those who are following the conventional wisdom about dotNET. All I can say is that it seems you "protesteth too much". Which carries an interesting message all of its own.
