In the four or so months I've been with TechNet, I can honestly say that I have gained a wealth of knowledge in a short period I may not have gotten elsewhere. Some topics don't directly relate to my job function (whatever that might be today) but it is valuable information from a well educated and experienced group. I enjoy the occasional ribbing, joking ... call it what you may it breaks up the monotony of sometimes being too serious. Thank You TechNet!
