Lets merge them all into a new list called OzDotNet. Oh damn, that's taken.
Would posting C++ or HTML5 to OzDotNet be met with frowns and flames from the purists? What about XAML or UI questions? I don't think it would considering we frequently discuss what laptops everyone's using and whos the best webhost these days. I don't mind a rename if its necessary and agree it should bring us together not split us up into smaller fragments. Call it a list defrag. :) On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 10:22 AM, Ian Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: > Fragmentation is good?
