I am a caml rider and penguin breeder, not a plane hijacker or suicide bomber. I advocate the technology I like best, and, from a professional standpoint, I integrate it in the projects I am assigned by my clients. I am professionally uninterested in MS products, albeit primarily for aesthetic reasons and personal taste. Even you were affiliated with Microsoft or Dyadic software, you would still be entitled to free thought. I actually wish to thank you for sharing an interesting bit of information with me about APL and .NET.
