Umm, should I disable a few accounts today?

Actually not so much. Leaving for the UK on Sunday, will be out of touch for most of the next week. Behave.

Does this mean that I can use my other avatar for a few days?

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Yes, the client came back,

they thought he was a goner.

But the client came back,

He just wouldn't stay aaah-waaaaaaay."

So, then what we're using is "Old SQL?" Dang it! :blink:

'Reminds me of a Jewish comedian who complained that the Old Testament was labeled "old." 'Doesn't work out all that well for a marketing campaign.

"Would you like some OLD stuff?"
"No, this is the really good Old stuff!"
Not only that, they had the gumption to go and label their Testament as "New!"

Nah, we're using "Classic SQL"

Just remember how well "New" worked for Coke.
