    Hey, I've been developing professionally for about two years, since leaving Uni most of my education has been through Q&A sites and communities like this. So I've been reading Code Project for a few months now I thought I should actually say hello! instead of lurking in the shadows. So hey all! Hope I can get involved a little! :)

                Well yes...but I suspect that 10% signed up to download something and then never came back, 10% are active, and the rest are sock puppets... :sigh: (But even then, that leaves nearly 1,000,000 active, so there may be more sock puppets than I had assumed! :laugh: )

                    I suspect that this number is much higher. :thumbsup:

                          Welcom welcome welcome. You met Pete, Griff, Manfred and some other guys relatively active in here. Proceed to the Lounge[^] to get involved into the full procrastination this site might offer to you and meet V., Dalek Dave, Nagy and some other guys lurking around in the Lounge. You can find me in the forums, the Lounge and the Q&A section. And nearly everywhere else. Have Fun and if you have something good to make an article outta it - We'd love to see it. cheers, Marco Edit: just seen that you are already in the Lounge. Nevermind.

                                      Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. ~ Albert Einstein
