You are right, I suppose it's time we dropped it.
It's just fascinating that others chose to try and rationalize the misunderstanding.
I respect what you're saying about using .NET.
I'll only say that I think that any IT shop that is "Fill in the blank"-only, including MS-only, is making a big, big mistake. Being good a delivering useful tools means an open mind, and being able to select the best possible solution available regardless of vendor.
I would feel the same about a 'Sun-only' shop. In fact, I'd be *more* horrified by a 'Sun-only' shop!
Wait a bloody minute. I made many of those exact same points this morning and you said I was backpeddling and rewriting his post and all kinds of other crap. He says the same stuff (which I think goes a long way to indicating that I was on the same page as him the whole time) and he get's "you are right"?! Who's the one being deliberately contrarian here and just reflexively taking the opposite view as somebody else (something you've accused me of a couple times already)?!
"Rationalize the misunderstanding", that's you bub. What's been my line? I got it, don't know why you didn't. You're the one trying to insist that the reason YOU misunderstood was because it was unclear. You're the one trying to rationalize it. No wonder I avoid threads you're on.
