Congrats Jack!! :w00t:
I feel slighted, only 1 person even acknowledge when I hit 10,000. 🙁
And it probably wasn't me. Now I feel bad. :crying:
I haven't made it for just forum responses though. Still working on that one. Got a long way to go though.

True enough, still have a few hundred to go there to hit 10,000 forum responses. QotD sure helps. 😉

Speaking of QOD points. I think a nice feature enhancement would be a second shot opportunity to answer missed questions that were answered more than 1 month ago.

Go back and answer the question again and see if you learned anything :Whistling:

On the last one you almost corrected Jeff on the LDFs thing, so I think you have the answer.:-D
I realised what he meant. Just the way it was phrased was open to misinterpretation.

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

Ummmss, sary bot dat. wus aktooaly tinkin 'bout fishin.

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.

Jack Corbett (2/3/2010)
That's definitely true. My take on many posters at least since I got back from the Summit is that I'm getting fewer responses when I ask questions and more people who want the exact code they should use instead of direction.

Point(s) in case

Definitely just wanted the answer , to hell with how to get it.

Hmmm. I'd always thought that "golf clap" was what you got if your ball went in the wrong hole.

Congrats, Jack!!

Thanks, Jason.

The reports of my death were greatly exaggerrated.

This remembers me when I attended High school and Slash (Guns and Roses guitarist) died something like once a week...

Are you that famous, Bob?:-D

Totally Off-topic:
Did you notice? Jack is "SSCrazy Eights" now.
Congrats from across the ocean!
Thanks for noticing. I was actually hoping to hit it in 2009, but I slowed down some toward the end of the year and start of the new year.

Congrats.

Would you like to be responsible for corruption questions, performance questions or deadlocks from now on?
