Very wise of them. In the words of Linus, "there is no problem that is so big and so scary that it cannot be run away from." You're probably too young to remember that one, but I've been a fan of Peanuts since I learned to read.
This site is a logical outgrowth, some might say "tumor," of CodeProject, and I commend you for launching it. Not being a professional programmer, I have long wondered how so many smart people manage to make a living from programming machines they know so little about. Most programmers are complete idiots when it comes to understanding the hardware they make dance, and since I come from a different direction - starting with creating microcontrol store functions in ROM - it is inconceivable to me that anyone who programs these beasts would be less than an expert in their care and feeding. But alas, the reality is that many don't know about these mysterious beige boxes under their desks, but have no trouble making them jumps through hoops afire for fun and profit. CodeProject is their rightful home.
But for others among us, who crave understanding of the inner mysteries of hardware and networking alchemy, this is the ideal home planet. I've fallen far from my former pinnacle of expertise in these matters, ever since I started doing real engineering and designing physical stuff with steel and concrete and synchrophasor relays. I used to tutor Michael years ago, but now he teaches me... That's okay - the student, in an ideal world, should exceed the teacher, else how would we progress?
This is a site, however, whose time has come. It's not unique in a sense, as others have trod these steps before. I've been a member of TechRepublic since its inception, and despite the rude comments occasionally seen at CodeProject, they do a good job of filling this niche. But I think you can do better, and I look forward to seeing the growth I expect for this site over the coming few years. Let me know when you're ready for an IPO; I'm ready to invest in your winning formula.

Cute, and trite. But it's worth being reminded of this simple fact once in a while.
One of the curious things I've read over the years was a study of very rich, successful people, comparing the things they'd done in life to what the rest of us do. The most striking thing I noted was that every one of them was a failure. Each of them had a string of failures dogging their tails, whether businesses they'd started and lost, or jobs they'd been fired from. The important difference was that, instead of crawling away with tails between their legs, each stood up on hind feet and tried again. From that I infer that the key to success, at least financially, is to never be defeated by a failure, but rather to learn from the experience and try something else. The important thing is to never stop trying, never give in to defeat.

A post for the sake of it. I have nothing serious to offer at this time.
