So what your saying Ninja Dave is to understand ALT.NET the
grasshopper must first become ALT.NET? Unlearn you must hmmmm if
ALT.NET you wish to become? :)

Actually that article...

"Many developers would be happy to use Object/Relational Mapping and
TDD if they just knew where to start. Likewise, folks already
practicing these techniques want to get better by interacting with
other practitioners. My chief hope for the ALT.NET movement is that
it creates a community that assists both groups, helping them all
become strong developers. "

Thats spot on, I think many people would use these very useful
technologies, ideas, approaches, if there was some way to know they
were there. Other people just don't care.
