The way I look at it is the DML is like a never ending club meeting with a bunch of people in the clubhouse. (when do we
get a secret handshake?) If you don't like the conversation in one corner with one bunch of people, go to a different
bunch in the other corner. I've poked my head in many different discussions and have learned a lot and had a bunch of
laughs. Thanks all
