Sorry skipped straight to my 2cents. (Nearly time to go home :-))
Maybe this has already been pointed out and I'm just proving the point of many comments already raised in this post......
A lot of people using these forums don't necessarily speak english very well.
Microsofts explainations tend to be long, tedious, unclear with snazzie words. I find myself looking for other resources before using BOL or technet (And of course posting my own question). Just looking a simple bit of code with simple consice comments is often like looking at a picture.....
I guess this is the result of being internationally popular!!
Also a lot of people just don't know how to test out basic concepts or don't even have a testing environment.
Jeffs "Asking guide" is also very good at helping people know just how easy it is to test a specific function or whatever. Hopefully people will take the time to read his article....

Welcome to the thread of random musings, mutterings and other such nonsense where the topic of the day is whatever anyone wants it to be.

Lol. Was looking at active threads for questions to help out with, didn't realize this one was 4 years old. Hehe.... cough cough... :blush:
What's just as bad as a poorly asked question?

It might be four years old but it is still (very much) active.
It also has its couterpart forum here.

I'm back, and it looks like things were quiet. Other than Jason's humorous pictures and Jeff's attempt to get the thread into a serious discussion :w00t:
Not enough snow, but a good time with my wife and two of the kids. I think this was our first holiday without the oldest, and it was certainly strange.

Hope everyone who had a vacation had a great and safe vacation and that those who didn't get to have one soon.

When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.

En de broekzakken, I guess, in plaats van op het toetsbord te W3Time configureren.
Or are handjes and handen different sorts of hands?
