Yes, they know exchange. I tried to only participate when I had a problem. The BLB conversations were usually pretty humorous as an outsider. It was clear that people were clamoring for something more intelligent than the DR kluge, and also clear the vendors were trying to accommodate that desire.

I was in the same boat (except I knew enough to keep my "mouth" shut most of the times). Yeah, the two "Ed's" really dumped on someone who suggested BLB. (But, then again, they really knew Exchange and gave out a lot of good advice and recommendations.) _____ From: rz...@qwest.net To: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Subject: RE: A blast from the past...

It was pretty frustrating sometimes, since all the "exchange experts" seemed to think the purpose of the list was to just congregate together and embarrass anyone who asked a question that somebody may have asked within the last 6 months. For some of us exchange was/is just another application we had to support as opposed to a career path. And god forbid anyone suggest not running Trend, or running brick level backups. Steven Wynkoop is still around, in AZ I think, still involved in SQL stuff last I saw.
