Now I really want to see it! Good job on insulting any and all... sounds like Jeff and his pork chop launcher might be rubbing off on you!That or Buck Woody. Not sure which is better
I think Jeff would be the better of the two. Buck has clothing problems.
Yes, I know.

Isn't that like saying you're a 'nice' barbarian because you only rape and pillage? 😛

Every so often, I stop and remember that I learn (or remember) things much better if I have to explain it or teach it to someone else.
I thought about that this morning. I'm doing a Blog series on about using Excel destination templates in SSIS and was walking through what I'd written for part two when I encountered caveats that I always forget about.
Does your learning process work this way, or is it just me?
I think this is a good argument to get people more involved in the community. "If you teach it to others, you'll remember / learn it better than if you just teach yourself on the job."

Yup, that's a big part of the reason I started my blog. I'll be getting back to it once I've finished moving and have built up a backlog of posts. I just hope I get to it before I forget them.

This is so true - and it's the core reason for why I help out here on SSC.

Not only do I learn better that way, but having written a blog post, an article, a book, I have something that I refer back to constantly to help remember what I learned. It's actually creepy (to me) how much I refer back to my own writing when I'm trying to remember or work on some concept.

Referring to your own writing is just common sense. No different than reviewing your own notes on a topic. *Creepy* is when you google something that you don't know how to do - and the google result you find that gives you the answer is an article that you wrote...
Or maybe that's just age... 😀

To some extent that depends on which meaning of "rape" applies; in a phrase like "rape and pillage" it usually means either forcibly deprive (of possessions) or abduct/kidnap, the latter being a close match for one meaning of Latin raptio (whence the English word is derived) and not a good match for Latin constuprare (sexual violation) and the former a good match for the other.
Anyway, were the Romans "'nice' barbarians"? The "rape" of the Sabine women was one of their most famous exploits ("rape" = raptio = abduction). The abduction was carried out without much objection from the women concerned, who had been forbidden to marry Romans and were very well treated by the Romans and did not wish to return to their families, at least according to Livy and Petrarch (who wrote the only versions of the story old enough to have much chance of accuracy, but still probably not old enough to be really reliable); usually the Romans (even those of the days of Romulus) are not referred to as barbarians, nice or otherwise ;-).
*runs away before Gail can get Jeff's pork chop launcher re-directed*
Surely you're in more danger from the "others on that list", as you are saying they are less nice barbarians than those who just rape and pillage.:-D
