    And finally, to Steve - I know we've discussed this before, and I know it won't happen, but I just have to ask again. Can you please, please, please get rid of that stupid point system. The only effect I see it having is to encourage behaviour that benefits nobody.

    (.... I see the "points" but never kept track of it.. but after reading the above I never realized that people are actually desperate for this; when people mention "lost my point"... i thought they are trying to be funny, metaphorically, not literally. Didn't knew this was serious stuff until now; May be we can change it to SQL CASH POINTS.. like in any next event on SQL, a person who earned more points will get a free-book on SQL with authors sign in it or link to the pdf file to download... 😛 😎 )

    The first and the hardest SQL statement I have wrote- "select * from customers" - and I was happy and felt smart.
