Can we just respond to all his posts with "Just because someone wrote a book doesn't mean they're right"?
@stefan - good response there.

Maybe put that as our signature? 😀
Interesting suggestion, but I'd have to add one more thing.
He may have written the book, but I haven't read it yet and it's not part of my current plans.

Thanks, I wanted to give the OP a way to proceed. That's one good thing about Celko's posts, the entire time I was writing the response I had his response in mind and it made me much more positive.

True. At least he's shortened my reading list. I can cross all the ones in his sig off my list.

Celko strikes again.
Ticks me off that he tells the poor OP to stop programming when the OP clearly, in one line right above Celko's response, indicates that this proc is an old one. Which in itself tells me the OP didn't create the proc.
And that Celko, for all that he can write, apparently has forgotten how to read.

I wouldn't go as far to say that it indicates the OP didn't write it, but at the very least should mean that maybe the OP wrote it a long time ago and is simply struggling with it at this point.

Whoa! Wait a minute. It doesn't? I only agreed to write the book so I could say I was right about everything. Man, way to be a downer.

I duuno how ,pls any1 explane
Gail, this is a quote from that link. There is just something I always find curious about posts like these. If English isn't the OP's first language, then how do they come up with words like "duunno" for "don't know" or "explane" for "explain"? (I'll let "pls" and "any 1" go by because shortwords in are becoming universal thanks to texting.)
Not all posts from OPS for whom English is a second language are like this. Even babblefish could do better. To me, the post seems as if the OP is doing a parody of someone speaking English poorly. My spoken French is atrocious, but I wouldn't post to a French forum writing "Moan sewer, parlay vooze Awnglaze?"
Does this bug anyone else, or should I go back to taking my chill pills?

I really like how the OP responded to your first response: "U forgot to answer on question ..."
