From: Scott M. on 7 Oct 2009 17:02 What I find really telling is that there has been absolutely NO advocation of .NET in this thread. There has been no evangelism about it whatsoever. What is being discussed is simply the use a particular keyword in it. Yet, the "usual suspects" have climbed up on their holier than thou horese and started with the usual ranting and raving about how bad it is that .NET is being evangelized and advocated here. Best I can tell, these folks know how to write, but just not how to read. -Scott "Dave O." <nobody(a)nowhere.com> wrote in message news:OIax6C2RKHA.5108(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > > "mayayana" <mayaXXyana(a)rcXXn.com> wrote in message > news:O9TnCy1RKHA.764(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> What does all this mean?

Best forget all thoughts of ever having been productive, so that one may properly assume the position at the master's will. Got it. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org |
