>Agreed. Oddly enough I worked at a place where Toronto's Jim Nelson once worked. While there I helped a co-worker who was crying. Her code ran all night and got the wrong results. When she explained what she wanted I fixed it for her and it ran in minutes. I then had to spend time teaching Jim Nelson and that team. So our harassing dickless wonder indirectly benefited from my training. When I finally got to see his code, it was laughable, so much that the people he showed it to laughed. I was way better than he then and am still. He can stand that. Poor thing.

Mike, I rarely will speak for the masses, but I'd be stunned if anyone didn't think you have lost perspective here.

When Tamar and I basically agree on something - I think you need to stop and pause and reflect.

You're a very smart guy who clearly knows a great deal of stuff.

I had serious issues with some folks years ago because of their statements on .NET. My view on that subject hasn't changed, but I've come to realize that some of them know a great deal about SQL Server and SQL in general - in some cases, more than I gave them credit for.

You need to go find some perspective. I am the king of wearing my heart on my sleeve, but right now you're basically pulling down your pants and showing the world your ***.
