The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
- Martin Rees
The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

Must. Resist.

Abbreviation would be PISS on a Friday and SSIP on a Monday, right?

All I did was see who posted and went :w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t: and closed the tab. I won't even look at it. Solving whatever it is won't do any good anyway. Resistance is not futile. Save your sanity.

Yikes. That thread is already following a familiar pattern.

I expect two more pages of fumbling, followed by: "It's OK. This problem is resolved now."

I posted what may be an obvious answer, but frankly it's what I would first expect and don't get why it wasn't already done.

Hmmmm....maybe we should just post about 5-7 responses full of lorem ipsum. His responses aren't much better most of the time. Then after enough gibberish responses we will get: "It's OK. This problem is resolved now." 😀

Back home we have a term (dating further back than Disney) which is "frozen", my limited English puts it down to "The lights are on but nobody's home", would be fun to have other's native expressions of the term (in English)

Or in this case he will post that he did something we all would have done long before posting on the forum for help, find a oopsie in the code, fix it and not apologize for wasting the forum's time....
