Yay...!!! I beat the THREAD to the landmark. I hit 3000 posts before the thread hit 3000 pages. 🙂

Congrats.

Easy to beat the thread's page count. Just change the posts/page option. 😉

Only 1480 pages here.

Do you know it seems like you're living in a place others would pick for vacation? Do you have a boat, too?

Congratulations Roy, that's a lot of points.

If I add my ASK points - about 2,500, plus the points here, I have about 3,000 myself. 🙂

Trust me, that's got nothing on where Roy lives as a vacation spot!

Edit: And, of course, I belatedly realize that the place I work is where millions of people DO vacation every year. Orlando, FL. Weird that I don't think of it that way.

I was going to post a prediction that you'd easily surpass my number of posts before the end of the year, as well. Congratulations, Gail! 🙂

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.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I guess you're right: Roy is an excellent candidate for a contest "I work where you'd like to be on vacation"

I'm not sure about Orlando, FL, though... 😎
