My foundation in IT is with the mainframe, VSAM, DB2, PL/1, CICS and Application System; I've also a few years of developing using System W.

So I have a broad background within IT, because I choose to develop using MS technologies does undo any of that of which was and still is a good solid foundation.

I get no funding from MS, I run the user group and site through my own pocket and through events I run through the year, they see fit to award me with MVP for my contribution to community and thats for work I do here in the UK with the user group I run and through my FAQ on sqlserverfaq.com.

But, I guess that would give you some sort of satisfaction if it where true, but alas, it isn't - perhaps if it was I would be able to do what I really enjoy and thats is picking out those within IT who bring us all a bad name!

Feel free, as an IT professional and an independent SQL Server consultant here in the UK I feel it is my duty to bring some balance to statements you make about SQL Server because they are so far from the truth its bizzarre, now if you don't like that then don't spout rubbish!

On a final note does your user group get funding from Oracle then, perhaps we have hit a nerve.....
