This is an awesome site and truly great community. The thing I think I enjoy most is the discussion that evolves from the original question. Many times, there's more than one way to skin a proverbial cat. Some ways are more efficient than others and they come out in the discussion. Many sites just expect a one-line answer and debate and discussion are discouraged or simply taken down with no notice. I use only one SQL Server forum site - this one.

I've attended several SQL Saturdays and they're interesting, educational and even fun. It speaks to the generosity and sharing attitude of the larger community as a whole. Personally, I think it's the best product-based community in the world and I'm humbled to be a part of it.
