Favorite email exchange of the day (after the other party read the recursive CTE date article in the newsletter, and I pointed them to Jeff's comment/article in the discussion):

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.
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:

But if you feel them, why did it hurt your eyes instead of your fingertips?

....and anyway, isn't it somewhat improper to go around feeling posts? :w00t: Especially posts about pants? :laugh:

BWAA-HAA! Only if the posts are in the pants. 😉

--Jeff Moden

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.

Feeling posts is OK, taking them home to see mama, that's improper :hehe:

And I thought you put pants on the post for all to see 😛

Now that you mention it, I don't think so 😀

<paranoia mode on> This thread was actually started by an obscure governement agency to track down all the "crazies". Especially the ones without pants. <\paranoia mode off>

I hope you didn't start at the beginning of the thread :blink: :hehe:

(I did a few days ago, to actually read the OP's first post and the still on-topic replies. It takes about 50 posts before this thread went wild. I think it had something to do with Jeff and pork chops. I still don't know what that means.)
