    I think THE THREAD has no worries from this one.

    I'm guessing this thread is the one you're referring to? 🙂

    Gaby

    Sure is.

  • All hail The Thread... Eternal is The Thread... Great is The Thread... Mighty Mighty is The Thread.

    Let us make great sacrifice of cursors and recursive CTEs....

    "In the beginning was the THREAD.

    The THREAD was without form and light.

    And lo, St. Michael did ask his question,

    and the THREAD was born.

    "It is destined to grow forever,

    Having so many devotees paying homage

    To it's sheer magnaminity,

    And fed with the blood of those who dare

    Question without thought."

    You'll be oblivious, Bob Hovious, that's obvious.

  • You mean like Thomas Hardy's the Sacrilege. 🙂

    Title: The Sacrilege

    Author: Thomas Hardy

    "I have a Love I love too well

    Where Dunkery frowns on Exon Moor;

    I have a Love I love too well,

    To whom, ere she was mine,

    'Such is my love for you,' I said,

    'That you shall have to hood your head

    A silken kerchief crimson-red,

    Wove finest of the fine.'

    :Whistling:

    Kind regards,

  • Further banter along these lines should continue in The Thread.... so I'm posting my response there, Chris.

    Nice, Gaby. Is that from Paradise Lost?
