Are the posted questions getting worse?

    FYI, we still have not heard anything from the OP.

    The OP has made three posts: one in 2007, one in 2008 and one today. I don't think that he's the chatty type. 😉

  • I don't get the impression that he is backing down at all from his position. He says he agrees, but I don't get the impression that he truly does with his parting shot.

    It sounded to me like he realized he was losing the argument and was walking away with whatever pride he still had left.

    Almost time for a drink. I'll buy the first round.

    I observe the forums more than post. I'm only butting in with my .02 right now because a rare thought occurred to me reading that thread. Maybe he's giving bad advice and being so adamant because he likes to stir the pot and wants this type of energy from us? Are there really DBA's out there that bad?

    Not sure there was a lot of pride left, he took quite a beating. I don't think he agrees either, but oh well.

    You have to remember that the DBA postition suffers from at least one problem that is common to every position. There are people in that position that do not have the proper qualifications. Think about that for a minute. It gets even more scary.

    Graduated last? That may not be that bad.

    What about the ones that lost their license to practice in one area and go practice elsewhere?

    How many people doctors are failed vets? I've heard the number is not real high but there is more than a fractional percentage..

    I am ready if you all want to take part in one round discussion, most of you didn't read the posting completely that poster had already set the database to emergency mode.

    EnjoY!
