    Anyone got a fresh brain I could borrow? I promise to return it with only a slight bit of wear.

    Sure. Will you finish off my article and config review for me?

    Sure. I only have 8 million deadlines right now. What's one more? @=)

    Since you are in the taking mood, want some more deadlines?

    I will take them. I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

  • Steve, I apologize for my latest rant to Mr Celko. I have tried to restrain myself since you asked me to, but I just had to respond today. Had to do something as my blood pressure went up another 20 points.

  • AARRRGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

    If he isn't going to be helpful, why doesn't he just go AWAY!

    Easier said than done. Espcially when it is a thread you are following (helping or lurking out of interest).

    Just once, I'd like to see him actually post something that is actually helpful and without him going off on his standards only tirade. I know he is smart and all that, but ..... arrrrggggg.
