I'm not offering my own example, for the following reasons:

1) It would be the easiest thing in the world to use one of my own examples, and I'd be accused as coming up with a contrived example.

2) Regardless of complexity, they'd be slammed as 'too easy', or 'not the way my application has to do data munging'. And then I'd turn around and ask for a 'better' example...and we'd be right back to square one. You can't possibly suggest that wouldn't happen.

3) I refuse to do ALL the work. As it stands, I'm making a pretty substantial offer. I think what I've asked from Walter is reasonable.

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

Between my articles, user group presentations, .NET posts on the UT, I've amply demonstrated the capabilities of those two technologies. Somehow in our time zone difference, you've miraculously missed most of those, but someone manage to find every other post I've made on the UT.

If the answer is "no", that's fine, but you can't slam others if their answer is "no" as well.

Once again, you want me to do ALL the work???

My offer is on the table. If Walter doesn't want to meet my terms of offering what I asked, people can decide for themselves if there's meaning in that.
