>>I'd be ashamed if (hypothetically) I read my last message and came away with the belief that the message indicated it was "simply the best".
Of course not. I just wanted to make sure that our exchange would not be miscontrued by a certain other- e.g. "only 2 developers have any sense round here, Bonnie Berent and Kevin Goff, and Kevin Goff has done lots of dotNET and says Stored Procedures are the best and he wishes he used them earlier, whereas uneducated people like [fill name in here] who refuse to study are still convinced that local tables and cursors are the best."

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
