Pay attention, this is simple.

You posted:

"You'd think that a person that was newly using a new tool in a new
operating framework like .NET would be spending his time poring
through the .NET newsgroups for that new tool, reading everything he
could get his hands on about it, etc."

I replied:

"You have no evidence that he's not doing that. Knowing Derek
personally,
I'm certain he reads everything he gets his hands on."

You have shown me no evidence that Derek does not pour through the .Net
groups or read every piece of doco that he can get his hands on. All you
have done is mis-represented my statement. Now, I'm off to get another
glass of wine. ;-)
