Here's a late New Year's Resolution that doesn't sound at first like it's career improvement, but it truly is...

My resolution is to remember to give back and thank those who help me get through each "Dilbert" day -- whether by providing some technical insight or giving me the proper humorous perspective.

My first follow-through is to thank Steve Jones for providing sanity, perspective, and a great venue for knowledge exchange in this site. Much appreciated!

...And a good New Year to all!

Thanks, better late than never, and glad you didn't have to get back to work or this site until today!

Happy New Year!

Heh... Actually, I haven't had a cigarette in over a week. Still want one real bad, but trying not to give in. Also trying not to bury folks in a mountain of pork chops just because I'm trying to quit smoking. 😛

Jeff - well done and good luck.

Thanks, Chris!

--Jeff Moden

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.
