Yeah clearly falling behind; as of this afternoon there are 355 MS bloggers
with 6489 posts listed at http://blogs.msdn.com/ plus there are quite a few
MS bloggers that use other sites v.s. Borland currently with 1 active, 1
inactive, and 1 in the closet blogger.<g>

One of the funnier posts I saw recently was the report of a guy who had just
attended his first sit-down meeting with the big man and became some
flummoxed he was unable make a coherent presentation. I hear that for his
next block buster movie, Mel Gibson is considering a "Passion of Bill" with
Borlanders playing legions of sadistic Romans.
