I mainly lurk but my original reason for visiting was getting a behind the scenes view of people and tech at MS. This put a face to the nameless folks who make it all happen.
I don’t post much anymore but still enjoy reading the post from the C9 members.
I do wish for a more “informal” style dialog. It seems that things have gotten a bit strained the last four or five months.
I personally do most of my programming in the Notes world but still enough .net to keep me interested here.
I like to hear what the community has to say. The regulars sans the zealots (on both sides) keep me lurking. Ross I think mirrors a lot of my thoughts at times.
I myself get the feeling that MS has internal strife with what C9 should be. I think there are the “dialog” faction and the “marketing” faction.
(edit per my total lack of grammer)
