allmhuran (3/14/2013)I'm not sure what happened to this forum, the level of courtesy and respect seems to have dropped off. Perhaps it has become too cliquey.
Nah... don't let a couple of answers that you consider to be rude ruin it for you. There's a ton of good folks on this forum including some of the ones that you thought were rude. They've (actually, we've) got your best interest at heart even if they (we) come across a little heavy handed or miss a read on a post now and then.
You should see me when someone posts something like a recursive CTE or While loop that counts sequentially and insists that is HAS to be done that way. There's also a lot lost in the written word.
If you really want to do a litmus test on rudeness, post a question about a table design that uses an IDENTITY column named "ID" and wait for a certain famous author to show up.
