Your quote (that you interpreted as an insult at the time and asked me to change) says that typed datasets are superior because you can't pass L2S entities with change tracking between layers, whereas you can with typed datasets. IMHO typed datasets were not obsoleted as had been suggested on the blog of a VFP-to-NET convert, they remained the best way of doing data in NET if change tracking and tiered development matters to you. Doesn't mean that typed datasets are nirvana for reasons I've stated repeatedly- including your old favorite, auto-spanning to disk or some other mechanism to avoid consuming all system resources and killing the machine.

Are you still mad about this 3 years later?! You need to read what it actually says: a) it's good-humored, b) the target of the humor is myself because I don't get to tell you you're advocating obsolete technology, and c) it says you're sitting there with a satisfied grin because I'm having to agree that you've made the right decision! It's not as if I suggested you were naive or indecisive or amnesic or random or a liar or any other overt insults with which "some posters" habitually pepper their own posts.
