Heaping praise on Rob Caron

I subscribe to Rob's blog, and saw his latest posting. Just looking at the picture, my first thought was good for him - a new baby! The second thought was - oh no! Maybe Rob won't have the time to be so helpful now!  Then I read the text and realized it was his brother's newborn - WHEW!  -- Ok, ok, that's a bit self-centered.  I'd still be very happy for Rob if it was his baby - and check out the MS skullcap.

I'm not sure what Rob's job officially requires of him, but he is essentially the online evangelist for Team System - whether that's in the job description or not. He has helped me a lot in finding answers to my own questions as well as those asked by students in my classes. He's the main man behind the AskBurton blog (which seems to be slacking lately). The majority of the Q&A I have on my blog was made possible with his help - many of the answers are actually his answers (edited to remove the MS viewpoint - hopefully he won't sue me for plagiarism). So if you find any of my Q&A useful, it's thanks to Rob's hard work.  If you have your own Team System questions, submit them on AskBurton, or in the online newsgroups. Microsoft has Rob and other members of their team doing a great job with helping people out - keep up the good work!

Thanks, Chris - you're too kind. As for Ask Burton, yes, it's been rather dormant. Anythign submitted to Ask Burton lands in my Outlook. I now have a hefty queue of Ask Burton questions people have submitted. Once Beta 2 is out the door that blog will spring back to life.

Rob is a good guy, and he's good to take out drinking too, eh Rob? ;-)

LOL, I am rarely accused of being too kind - I'm usually considered too blunt - so maybe I'll go for being kind in a very blunt fashion. I've never actually met Rob - so I can't comment on the drinking aspect. Though if we do go out drinking, I'm definitely buying - unless it's at one of those fine TechEd parties where someone else is paying!

I second Chris' praise of Rob and the VSTS team... I've enjoyed working with them, and also agree that they're really extending their reach out to the community with quality content!
