That is quite funny that you mention rebar, Jeff, as it was originally in this post. I had taken it out because the story was growing larger than a TempDB database on the first of the month. One of the DBAs I talk about in the story who helped us overtake the Windows login prompt was also the same person who found your very same rebar in Seattle. I intentionally left out actual names in this Roman a clef but if they would like to acknowledge themselves I am sure you will find out that they are as well versed in SQL and community activism as they are in "solving problems".
