Thanks for your input Karl,
Of course, MSDN/ TECHNET/VAP newsgroups are still the main force :)

| woah...slow down there Steven...these newsgroups are still the #1 place
for
| ASP.NET related information. Frankly, I thought it was against the
newsgroup
| rules (albeit unofficially) to even LINK to those forums.
|
| All joking aside, the community server forums are pretty rock solid, but
I
| wouldn't trade in my news reader for anything!
