I intend on buying coffee (maybe even a slice of cake) for everyone that has helped me over the past year on the forums when/if I see them at sqlbits. If you don't like coffee then TEA it is! If you don't like tea or coffee then perhaps a hot chocolate.
thanks

Weird, you managed to misspell 'beer' about 6 times in that post 😛

Alas, the berating and general abuse continues. Resistance is not futile. Must...resist.

Do I ask where?

Congratulations to Gail and Jeff for becoming the first SSC Gurus and probably didn't notice.
The new points system is going to devaluate the points. I might no longer be able to trade them for the t-shirt when getting to 10K. 😛

I'll be honest, I didn't find that post to be berating or abusive. It did, I think, give a fairly decent explanation of what the problems with the table type in question are.

I'd rant, but the people in question might see this, and that would not be a good thing, so I'll just stick to AAAaaahhhhh!!!!!

I see the schedule for SQL Bits has been published. Some familiar Threadizen names on there...
SQL Bits Friday

SQL Bits Saturday
Rodders...
WHOOP! Two sessions this year, plus we'll be doing one for SQL Clone. I'm very excited about Bits, as usual. What is the theme this year?

One session for me, but I want to be there all week. My daughter plays volleyball that weekend, but since I can't get back, I'll enjoy Telford.

So I'm totally doing a plug here. Feel free to ignore it if you're not interested...

Bored at work? Stressed out from politics? Take a moment to refresh your mind and spirit by watching kittens. Kitten Academy is a foster home located in the Chicago IL area that takes in kittens (and their moms) until they are ready to adopt. They've got a You!Tube live stream, free of advertising, that is an excellent method of wasting time. Plus, you know, if you like cats, are in the neighborhood, and want to adopt, well they have processes for that.

Anyway, just thought I'd share. They also have a twitter account you can follow and a new mom cat that is due to give birth any day now.

Half of me wants to figure out how to block him so I never see another post. Half of me considers it a train wreck I can't help watching.

Can we ban him again? I'm sick of seeing him insult people asking for help.

He's really offensive and stand against everything a community should.

Ihave seen some of your other postings. And frankly, I would neveremploy you or let you graduate from a class of mine. You really donot understand what is going on.
