Was just asking because they guy who "advertised" his free tool, just to get some feedback a few weeks ago (forgot his name and exactly what it was) got bitterly flamed for doing so.
That was me. And I wasn't advertising - I really honestly just wanted some feedback from some people I respect.

Is this fair use of the forums by the way?
I don't have a problem with it. The OP isn't directly trying to sell the book, although they are indirectly, but where's there a better place to reach SQL Geeks when you have an event you'll be at?
BTW - great quote in your signature.

The water cooler has been too quiet for my liking. I am getting withdrawal symptoms. What is happening? Where is everyone? 🙁
Working stupid hours on a major project. Should be promoted middle of next week (the code that is, not me) so I'll have some free time again...

Ah yes, I'll never forget my first time. That poignant, bittersweet moment when your code first gets promoted ahead of you ... 😀

I actually reported both of her posts as SPAM... the only posts she's made have been to promote herself and her bloody book signing. When I suggested that she participate more, she basically said that she was too busy and spent most of her time on another forum. So far as I'm concerned, she's a non-participant and a bit arrogant. I wouldn't go to her book signing if I knew I was going to get one for free.

Well we might soon know. Sent an email to the web master for SSC, (since Steve is on vacation unitil I think Oct 5th) lets see what he/she thinks about it. To me it was a blantant advertisement for the gullible who might think it is being recommended by SSC

Lynn, I think our dynamic SQL OP is lost.
Not sure about the lost part, but I'm definately confused as to what he is trying to accomplish. I mean, why would you want to nest dynamic queries?

Steve's reply to another copy of the post is here: http://qa.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic780179-61-1.aspx
I don't have a problem with it. Steve doesn't appear to have a problem with it. I think it's at least as fair a use of the forums as The Thread is.

I miss anything? Just cranky old guys and gals complaining?
The post is a little self promotion, but I'm more willing to tolerate authors promoting themselves than companies. Might be a little hypocritical, but that's how I feel.
