Thomas, that's what I'm thinking. One of the things Linq should do is allow a better tier split between database and business logic compared to use of SP as "best practice". But why stop there? These are all man-made rules and often they're just a set of standardizations, justifying curiosity from students like me. ;-)
"... 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
