Steve Jones - Editor (1/28/2009)[hr "whether its transaction log backups, and XML indexes or whizbang fiber-optic laser beam assemblers." that were copied word for word, and these aren't phrases you likely see.
Note to self: insert reference to "fibre-optic laser beam assemblers" in future articles. Just because. 😀

ARRRRGGGGGG!!!Heh... whad'ya do there, Lynn? Pull a nose hair? Or dislodge a pork chop? 😛
I wish. That would actually be pleasurable compared to this. I think others would have (or have) walked already.

I think I know the one you're talking about, Lynn. I gave up on it long ago, and pretty much just posted the bluntest answer I know.

Yeah, I gave up on that thread days ago.
I think it's a language-barrier thing. Not sure I got it this time through, but it might help.

I said the same thing in Spanish that I said in English in the line above. The data doesn't exist.

Yeah, it was after that post that I knew this wasn't going to continue down a good road. The thought process has changed now to a rewrite. Somewhat baffled at this point.
...and yes Lynn, your patience is truly admirable. 😎

Yes in marketing that's called the rubber neck effect. It means that you are most likely to be attracted to something if it's a catastrophe than something beautiful... Case and point : THE NEWS.
Or also watch what happens to traffic when there's an accident in the opposing direction... the traffic is just has bad in your lane because people stop to watch. But if there would be a beautiful rainbow or sunset, people wouldn't even slow down (or just a little).

I feel like unsubscribing from that item but I'm scared to miss out on a few laugh.
