Happy Tax Day, and behave children. I'm going skiing, so no one will be here to moderate bad jokes and subtract points.

Okay, I definitely have mixed reactions on this one!

Wooohooo! I can tell bad jokes!

Booohooo! I have to pay my taxes today!

Oh wait ...

I pay taxes every hour I'm at work, I just don't see the bill that often ...

And, I tell bad jokes every day ...

Anyone having difficulty posting/previewing with IFCode
I'm getting in IE 'cannot display webpage'
and Firefox 'the Connection was reset'
I can post without IFCode fine

Haven't seen that issue.

Does that mean that Steve is about to go down as well as downhill? 😛

Hmmm - a question about a cte - have to find a link. Ah, yes - there it is.
My problem wasn't the CTE, it was the unwillingness of the OP to post anything, which is what prompted my trip to the TitD. (I used the wrong 4la earlier, Tent in the Desert)
But on the plus side it did point me to the excellent explanation of 'FOR XML PATH' by Barry.
I trawl this site for such nuggets.

A case of a bad op turned good. 😉
