Are the posted questions getting worse?

    6255 pages? Are you serious?

    Ok guys see you in some other thread; i'm out.

    haha the page count can change depending on your settings. But welcome to "the thread". This is our virtual water cooler. It the place the regulars (and some irregulars) hang out and vent about other topics other than sql server or politics. We try to keep technical discussions out of here. It is a great place to learn about and discuss any myriad of topics with other folks. Don't leave, pull up a chair and a cold beer.

    Some of us have been here since the beginning.  This is where some friendships have been forged as well as learning quite a bit about each other outside of our SQL jobs.
    Learned some about beers, war bows, photography, cooking, music, martial arts, and other things.

    Yes, we try to keep technical discussions out of here, but even those occur at times.

    It is also a place where we come to get help from others when we actually find ourselves slightly outside of our own wheelhouse.

  • FWIW, for both the vendor of this forum software (InstantASP) and the  few others we've talked to, this is the longest thread anyone has ever seen.

    Right.  It would go like this:

    Bug Dude: I have posted everything except my view.  Why does command 1 and 3 run quickly but command 2 and 4 run 18 seconds slower.
    One of Us: Post the View
    Bug Dude: I can't, it is proprietary and the only way to reproduce the bug the M$ will pay me 2 years salary to get.
    One of Us: No they won't.  Post the view.
    Bug Dude: Can't and won't. 
    forever and ever......

    I say we all kick in a buck, send it to him so he will show us his code, and then we can all say, YOUR CODE SUCKS.

    We could take turns, one person each day (except on the weekends) gets stuck with replying to bug dude.
    Seeing as most of us have already had our turn in the well, it's Steve's turn tomorrow.

    As long as we can use Monopoly money, sure.

    Well, I plan to be out of contact starting this evening.  Oldest daughters' birthday then flying to Providence, RI for the weekend with the youngest.  It is JWU's Homecoming/Family Weekend.

    Hey, we have his bank account.  We can put a buck in, and as soon as he shows the code, take it back out!
