Thanks, grass....
That always gets me a chuckle. I think you might need a dual rotor chopper for that mission!

It should give you a chuckle, Champion. Tunnel signing off.

Okay, Gail, put down the keyboard and back away slowly. I thought you blacklisted him yesterday? What are you doing? I just asked to have someone slap me upside the head if I went back to his other thread where it appears he is still trying to make the data he is now using on this new thread....

Heck, he's gone full circle and started posting his first message all over again.

Yep...he's been working full-time on the same code - the same statement goddammit - for six weeks.

Never! < Clings to keyboard >

I thought you blacklisted him yesterday? What are you doing?

I couldn't resist stirring the pot a little.

I'm done with him. He's not interested in learning and he's not showing any signs of understanding.
