    I found an interesting contradiction between the two with this guy[^]: Posts: 1 post asking for help with no replies to it. Articles: 4 articles with an average rating hovering in the 2 zone. These are common numbers and might not interest you at all. Here is the ridiculous (and interesting) part:

    Biography ******* is a senior software developer at TCS, Pune. He has 4+ yrs of IT experience. He is Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist and has been certified for Analyzing Requirements and Defining Microsoft .NET Solution Architectures. He is an active member of: 1. MSDN Forums 2. CodeProject.com 3. Community-Credit.com 4. Blogspot.com You can find his contributions at: http://sandeep-aparajit.blogspot.com Location India Job Title Software Developer (Senior) Company Tata Consultancy Services Member since Sunday, July 27, 2003 (4 years, 9 months)

    Highlights:

    1. Microsoft Certified, but not English certified
    2. Active on CodeProject.com, but only 1 post since July 27, 2003
    3. A senior developer, but has a blog with nothing to prove it (in addition to possible plagarism since there were parts where the English was too good to be true)

    So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

      Well, from what i can tell they don't seem so awsome. But i would reserve any judgement until you actually meet a person. Still, it's not nice to single out members maybe if you remove the link and their name.

          Well, I've commented the identifying information out, but that forces the judgement to come from what I've posted. I read a few more entries on the blog (link removed from original post), and I've got a hunch that there is plagarism. I can prove it because I don't know where I've seen it before (something from MSDN most likely).

            The guy has set himself up for it by posting 4 articles that look like cut-and-paste jobbies. The real problem here is the proliferation of poor or sub-standard articles by people who probably just want to add something to their CV to big it up. And let's be honest, MS qualifications can be bought so realy have little or no value in the real world. Just my tuppence worth.

                    Absolutely not. First you have to post a message saying something like "Q: Can I assume myself as an "Active member" if I read post and articles many times a week but don't post any?"

                      So if you post that message, then you can consider yourself active member? Ok, here I go: Q: Can I assume myself as an "Active member" if I read post and articles many times a week but don't post any? :-D

                        You are almost there. Now, stand on one leg and whistle either (your choice) "Oh Canada" or "Advance Australia Fair" until Chris tells you your name has been inscribed on the rolls of the active.
