    For what it's worth, I'm in favor of a selective culling of the gene pool. 😛

    I assure you, it's just words from some serious pent up frustration from working with some folks that don't get it. Rest assurred that I take the high road and try to educate them. I'm not always successful but I do try.

    And if you fail, that's when you break out the high-velocity pork chops I presume.

    Nope. In such a case, that would simply be another failure on my part. I've found that the people I'm successful with want to learn. My real failure is sometimes failing to recognize those that don't actually want to learn.

    You sir, have the patience of Job, the generosity of Mother Theresa and the wisdom of Yoda.

    If all the world were composed of individuals with such grace, it would surely be a better place.

    Me, I'm just a grumpy old man! 😛

    While I'm honored that it seems that way, I have to confess that it's more inline with the selfish act of self-preservation and time available. I'd much rather take the time to teach someone that wants to learn than to try to teach the proverbial pig to fly. Because it was decades ago when I first heard it, I've forgotten the source but there's an old saying that still rings true today.

    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.
