Who is this jeff moden guy and why is he so crazy? (brilliant, maybe, but definitely crazy)

Well, he's crazy because of over-exposure to SQL Server and forums about it. Over-exposure is defined as either reading all of SSC's technical posts, spending at least ten years as a DBA, or reading/writing even one post on The Thread .... ooops.

And the only cure is beingectomy - in other words, you have to be amputated from all of reality. Doesn't help you at all, of course, but sure might save reality from The Thread if treated aggressively enough and early enough.

Is there a blue and red script for that?

Is beingectomy more closely related to beingthere or beingjohnmalkovich?

No, that's for the Pantsectomy. Beingectomies come in Grey, Orange, and Purple with pink polka dots.

Too funny... he should read the "Tally Oh" article and find out what crazy really is. 😀

Thanks for the "wicked" compliment. BWAA-HAAA! I've been accused by a lot of folks of having a "too long" resume. Thanks to you, I can shorten it to a single line. 😀 Hmmmm... Maybe a T-Shirt. :hehe: GUFAW!!! Imagine going to an interview... "Where's your resume, Santa...err, umm... Mr. Moden?"

"Dude, I'm wearing it!" 😛

Heh... "Reading all of SSC's techical posts?" Nah... takes too long. Had a permanent bionic implant. I don't have to read posts anymore... I can feel the posts now. 😀 That's why the suggestion of Steve going without pants hurt my eyes. :hehe:
