Is there a way to see the discussion of a QotD without answering? There are questions that I have no idea about but would like to see the conversation.
I guess I just do not want to see a incorrect in my list of QotD. 🙂
Thus I would like to see a "do not know" choice which would not be marked as wrong (but not right).

I think that's a great idea!

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.

Yep, click the discuss link on the main page for the question. Or check the author's forum.

No need to answer to discuss. I rarely answer 🙂

The first method is fine for the latest QOTD but neither is handy if the actual question page shows up in a search for a given subject. It would be nice if the QOTD page that the question shows up on had a "discuss but no points" option like the one mentioned.
