Re: One for the MVPs?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

i heartily agree with Gunny. the deductive abilities of many of the MVPs and
other expert developers in these newsgroups is nothing short of amazing. and
that so many of them give so freely of their time and expertise in the same
field where they make their living, is incredibly generous. sometimes the
real head-breaker problems are due to underlying design issues that simply
can't be unraveled without hands-on examination. there are a number of
highly skilled developers here that i would recommend my company hire, in a
heartbeat, to troubleshoot a database problem that i was unable to solve
with the assistance of these volunteers.
