I've received attention, both good and bad from my Internet activities. One problem in the SQL Server community is that certain people expect you to be 110% SQL Server and pro-Microsoft, 24/7. I use a large number of OSS tools in my career and I'm flexible enough to find different solutions to different data/programming/admin problems. Apparently this threatens or confuses certain people.:ermm:
Probably true for some people, but not most. I know lots of bloggers/writers that are well known in this community that manage/use Oracle, Java, etc. along with SQL Server.
