It's the last time I speak with you in English. You probably got an idea, that I have no interest speaking with you.
Next time, if you want to get Russian, you will get it.
Now about your 'fair' proposal. Firstly, I have more than enough reasons do not believe to your integrity, therefore it's not reasonably to bet on something with you. Secondly, I prefer to make my money working for my clients. If you think that you amazed me by your 1K bucks: no, I can make more and get satisfaction from my job. When I speak with you I do not get satisfaction, so again, next time and all other times I will tell you something about you in the language you don't understand.
Well, al least it will be very well understood by spectators.

>Forms can be multi-instance. A user needs to have the ability to make whole sale changes to a set of line-items, and then cancel those changes, bring back what is on disk. A special rule is in place that if somebody made changes while you were editing a record, you need to warn the user that he/she might overwrite another user's changes.... I am sure we can come up with a few more...
