Few months ago, I discovered the power of WF, and I told myself, "well... maybe in a future you can be an expert in this technology...". Of course, I´m not an expert in WF yet, but I'm still trying to become one.
Today I visited the WF forum to see what´s new, because I didn´t visited since a week ago (this week was a very strange one...) and for the first time (believe me or not...) I see the "Top answerers in this forum (30 days...)" box. I'm #10 in the list :), but the best of all (at least for me...), I'm the only one not related to Microsoft (SDE, SDE/T, Program Manager, etc (no... Matt doesn´t count), just a Kid who likes WF and tries to understands it better.

Happy weekend start...
