Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • Both of your emails, and your name, are protected by SSC. I can see them when I look up the account, but no one else can.

    Nothing else is worth a response.

  • To give advice once given to me (and had tried to follow) let us all choose to simply ignore ubernoob. Perhaps then he will choose to leave us alone as well.

    Crap, The Thread passed me this weekend and I didn't even notice. It's officially the 15th highest poster on SSC now.

    Not sure what you mean. I just checked the user rankings, by number of posts, and The Thread is WAY at the bottom of the list.

    List is here.

    Top 20 when I looked were:

    Steve Jones 19,239

    Jeff Moden 15,931

  • I think he is comparing the number of posts IN The Thread to how many posts he has made on SSC. 😉

    And I may have missed your comment at the end, unless you added that while I was posting. :w00t:

  • There seems to be a bug in this list. Did you notice the visit count of "Site Owners" and "joseph breese"? 1???

    In addition, both have exactly the same score.

    Yeah. I was just using it as an excuse to make Skynet jokes about the "The Thread" login. Want to see if I can provoke a response. (That login usually pops in when Skynet gets mentioned.)

    None of that explains why I'm jealous of the The Thread. Damn thing has twenty people helping it.

    As far as I know, he has no idea what your e-mail address is. When you e-mail someone all you see is their User Name, and it is then sent to whichever e-mail address you have stored in SSC.

    EDIT: It also seems that whenever anyone is actually trying to rectify the situation you react very immaturely. I'm beginning to think that all twenty of the people that have spoken negatively about you cannot possibly all be wrong.

    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.

    Pretty much. But it's the even-more-dumb kind (Russian roulette with an automatic instead of a revolver).

    I honestly wouldn't bother, unless you want to use it for UG presentations. The chance of it changing from alternate to accepted is slim. I mean, how many presenters are going to pull out and how many alternates have they selected? At best I'd do an outline.

    Couple years back my submission was 'alternate'. Never heard another word from PASS about it.

    I'm not even going to do an outline for my 3rd one. If PASS asks me to do it, I'll ask them to find someone else. Two presentations is enough. I want time to enjoy the conference as well.

    Oh, I don't expect to do it. I don't want to do it. I just thought I was contractually required to be ready to do it.

    I wasn't last time I got selected as alternate (2 years ago)
