I'm fast losing both patience and hope. The last month, it feels like I've been correcting almost as many replies as I have been answering questions

Nope! Not at all.

Speaking of "picky", I took a look at those... it just seems to be a little nervey for folks to post almost 400 lines of code and simply say that it's a performance problem, please help.

I'm also right there with you on the misunderstandings between table variables and temp tables especially about where they live. I may have to resurrect the link I had for the MS Q&A on the subject because it sure does seem to come up a lot lately.

Jeff, don't you have spellcheck? beta is actually spelled betta, unless you meant a trail run for the job.

MySQL has pretty similar concepts too. I think I'll just start answering every question with a MySQL answer. After all, what's the difference really?

I'm quickly losing faith in many people. I'm not sure that there's any hope for the future. The link below is just an example. Too many people seem to be clueless about what they're dealing with.
Clueless

That's why you have to have faith in something other than people. 😉
