man. so far i really don't like the communities associated with .net programming. searching for the answer for any problem is terribly difficult. there are just so damn many junior/newbie programmers out there that think they know what the hell they are talking about. TOO MANY WEEDS, I CAN'T SEE THE DAMN GRASS.
the prevailing attitude seems to be...
hey microsoft wrote it, geez, it must be perfect cuz they are mega-smart at microsoft. all these work arounds to make anything work make perfect sense. here, let me repeat the list of justifications i read on msdn...
uh. ok.
i guess maybe i prefer the super-snob-elite-i-can-make-templates-dance-and-you-could-see-the-code-and never-understand-it-cuz-you-are-a-*looser-look-at-me-i-am-alexandrescu c++ crowd.
