'Almost make no sense to real developer. The whole article explained some thing every developer knows, and not touch real diffrence between Surrogate Key and Natural Key, pros and cons of each,etc. '

Did you (Anonymous User) even read the article or did you just skim over the first paragraph or 2? There's no way you can consider yourself a 'real developer' if you read the entire article and still make the statement that you did. Michelle (the articles author) was very clear on what the differences are between the 2 types of keys as well as provide real world examples/descriptions of each. You would of course have to read the whole article to get those details and so if you did not, which I believe is the case, then you should not be criticizing the author in the way you did.

It's also apparent that not all developers 'knows' this material because of they did there would not be numerous postings on the internet groups/forumns about this issue.

Bottom line, if you are going to be critcial then make sure you've reveiwed in full what you are criticizing else you will look foolish to others reading your comments.

Your font size is too small. My eyesight is good -- corrected to 20/20 with glasses, but I still have to squint.

Also, using IE's "View->Text size->Larger" menu item has no affect. You ignore this value.
