Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Maybe it's just me. I might be getting too old for this business. I don't understand why people make such ridiculous posts.

    That is an SSF if I ever saw one

    😎

    Curious if the silver spoon will wear out before the OP learns to take a bite.

    I see nothing wrong with the post. Basic question is good.

    But the lack of desire to learn more of the subject and the details is troubling.

    They might have some trouble using what would likely be a massive amount of data for much until they understand it better.

    The Lord helps those who help themselves. The rest come here.

    what does SSF mean?

    It might be Spread Sheet File, but maybe I'm missing something 😉

    So this[/url] was in the Database Weekly and I found myself snerking about it.

    I have to say that "hi" and "hello" are among my favs, for no real reason I can define. Of course "good morning" should be added to that list because I am not a morning person, yet am always in the office at dark o'thirty to make sure everything is up and running before the business users come in. And it never fails but at least once a week one of those users comes in earlier than they should and tries to make conversation while I am still in a "leave me alone so I can get used to being at work" state of mind.

    Did anyone else read that list? Do you agree / disagree about an item in particular?

    Disagree with one. Go and say "Hi" to the developers. In fact, go sit in their room.

    Now Grant, remember the restraining order the Devs took out against you the last time you did that? :w00t:

    I think it was the rocking chair that did it 😛

    But yes I agree there, go say hi to the devs and sometimes other parts of the business

    So long as no one brings up the whipped cream incident, everything should be fine.

    Is a well known fact, that forums users are basically human compilers that will comprehend any logic needed even without knowing the requirements.

    No whipped cream, since it just flies off during flight. A thick barbeque sauce, on the other hand, is viscous enough to stick under normal speed, creates a nice "splat" noise on impact and makes a bit of a mess. Granted, the higher the velocity, the less of a mess.
