Please, John, don't underestimate our own considerable contribution to the conflagration. We didn't start it, but we did add a 50 gallon drum of gasoline or two to the fire. I want, no, demand full credit for my contributions to this fine Website!

I think this last little incident strengthens the case arguing the value of the enhancement I've been asking for to UT for many months, addition of a twit filter. MN&P can play with themselves to their heart's content; if I have a twit filter available to me, so that their behavior can't disturb my calm enjoyment of the next good thing coming down the pipe from you (I really would dearly love a good article on shaped recordsets, BTW; if you write one for someone else and don't post it here to UT or as a whitepaper on the MS site, drop me a line letting me know where to find it) I'll have no cause to add combustibles to their little campfires, and they'll not be disturbed by any speculation done on my part about any genetic divergence from basic humanity seen in selected examples of inheritance found in some participants here.
