Sorry MA. I know, MK must be MA.

>Really LOL. Although... thinking a little bit further about it. Suppose there's again some holy war here about the use of mdot. No, that one is settled now. But I recall that (correct me if the timeline is incorrect) some days before the letter was sent NN and MK had an argument on the MSDN forum. NN proposed someone a simple (one or two lines of code) solution, MK proposed a more complex solution (including a call to one of her home made UDFs), NN criticized that solution stating that it was overcomplex in light of the actual question, MK replied it wasn't and that it should also be regarded as a learning experience, the moderator jumped in telling NN that she shouldn't criticize someone else's solution and stick to technical issues, NN replied that it was exactly for that reason that she had criticized the overcomplex solution, etc.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
Let's develop superb standards that will end the holy wars.
