Is there any way of shutting him up, or teaching him you catch more flies with honey than vinegar?

And this is why I won't purchase his books, nor do I really have any desire to meet him personally. And yes, I have heard that his online persona is nothing like him in person, but when this is your first and only impression, doesn't really matter does it.

Boring day. In processing with Security and HOUR, get to my cube (already missing having an office) and no computer or email yet. Apparently the paperwork got lost. Other than that, not too bad.

Oh, I'm supposed to do a practice teach Thursday at CollegeAmerica for an Adjunct Professor position. Still haven't finalized that, but it has to be non-technical.

Thing is, he's not behaving that way out of ignorance. He's behaving that way because he wants to behave that way and be seen the way he presents himself (for whatever reasons)

Correct, he's built this image, and he continues to live up to it, for some unknown reason.

Of the people that have a Kindle or Nook or both, can books be shared between people with the same device?

I think one of those has a 'lending' capability, forget which.

What do you mean, "that's not helpful"? 😛

Isn't there some ISO standard on how to write replies on forums that you can redirect him to?

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Is it wrong to cry when someone tells me they don't know what Bulk-Logged is?

It's a forestry expression.
That is scary - check the timestamps of your reply and my last reply.

What's really scary is that I believe we've had a nearly identical conversation very early on in "The Thread". And, nope... I'm not going to look for it. 😛

Serendipity has given you a subject! Do a case study on "experts" like Celko! 😛
