    Nothing like a good ol' ad hominem attack to "prove" that the other guy is wrong.

    Did you read the person quoted as saying "too busy to be concerned with this" or not? I pointed it out because I thought it was important to note, before responding to the other points made, apparently without much consideration.

    How would you evaluate his/her use of "conspiracy"? Was that used to denigrate the person/messenger? Did you miss that one?

    Is your comment now simply ad hominem?

    My apologies to you, Robert. I had an immediate respect for you because of the facts that you cited and the fact that you aren't hiding behind some handle. Rather, you're using your name. I guess I was taken back a bit to see such a thing from the highly intelligent person that responded so thoughtfully with facts in a prior post on this thread.

    And, yes, you're correct. The other person used some rather uncomplimentary terms about groups of people that a person could take personally especially if they considered themselves to be a member of the group being blasted. I should have included them in my sorry attempt to stifle additional personal attacks and get back on subject.

    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.
