Paul, this is great once again. Your satirical and yet good teaching style is unmatched in both good content and entertaining quality. I am in the Paul Culmsee Fanclub.

Good effort on a very broad topic. You repeat yourself in content, too many times. Apart from that your humour while decent, does get tiresome (not too mention irritating). From what I can tell you’re gunning for an MVP status? Don’t get me wrong, but I would suggest that being passionate about something is much more important compared to the glory that it brings.

Hi Matt

It sounds like your as cynial as I am. MVP seems to require you to hang out on forums and provide a lot of free support, so I doubt thats going to happen anytime soon with me. I also don't drink all of the SharePoint kool-aid and that may not make me the ideal poster-boy. (can you sense the sarcastic undertone behind this series?)

In relation to your other comments, remember that I am trying (in vain) to write for a wide variety of audience. Many of my clients do not have signifiant expertise in SharePoint and I was thinking specifically about them when writing it.

You sound like an experienced developer or infrastructure person, and if so this stuff is not necessarily for you. Additionaly, I don't know about you, but InfoPath isn't exactly riveting reading, so I do try and make it a little more entertaining. Humour is always a hit and miss affair

regards

Paul
