<Got your attention!  And the wit ends promptly now.>

First of all, as you can see, Ken is a fabulous writer! Enjoy reading his posts.  They are surely going to be colorful. I know I will come back to read J.   However, this is my post.  I am more flat per say, so this introduction is a bit (understatement!) more abbreviated than his!  I am new to the MCP community, but have been within Microsoft Certifications, just in a different program –Microsoft Dynamics, for the previous 7 years before joining ‘Ken’s Gang’ approx 6 weeks ago.  Let me tell you it has already been a whirlwind of activity (ooh – can you sense a change in seasons? Hint hint) with benefits, communications, changes, welcome kits, and I already need your help.  I need your voice.  I need your expertise, because you are an MCP or an inspiring MCP in the making.  You are what makes this whole thing work. 

I completely and fully want to stress Ken’s ask for comments+ (side note: the wonderful world of Web 2.0 rocks!).  With your help in sharing what works, what doesn’t, your influence can make the benefits and community strong on the next versions of everything and all things MCP.  You count. 

Short post today – but guess what folks?  I ALREADY have some things in the pipeline to get your opinion on.  Just need to set up a survey (or two or three or four).  Look for it on Friday.
