Kevin,

Two things... If you are this indecisive in what you want to say, I recommend you wait until you've clearly decided.

Thanks for the advice, which is accepted in the spirit with which it was offered. ;-)

Second, yes, I actually have several examples. And I will not use them. Regardless of the example, someone will start complaining that it's too simple, doesn't reflect their own requirements for data munging, etc, etc.

That's the beauty of a case study. Case studies are not proofs or ideals, as I stated they are designed to show something interesting or to lay the groundwork for research into changed practice. Does an orthopedic surgeon complain because a cardiac case study isn't relevant? not unless the Cardiologist insists that a broken femur should be treated the same as a blocked coronary artery. ;-)

What the case study *will* do is allow people to decide whether your experience is relevant to their own practice. If it is (and I think for many it will be) then you will be prompting people to take a closer look wrt their own practice.

Walter has been a critic of SPs and ADO.NET, so I'm giving Walter a chance.

You have been a proponent of SPs and ADO.NET, so I'm giving you a chance.

Expect I'm not, because that would be patronising. I'm asking. If the answer is "no", that's fine, but you can't slam others if their answer is "no" as well.
"... 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
