    Be a Professional, Man..!!

    Good idea. Maybe take your own advice? Would you tell someone that you've never met and that you asked for free advice from to their face to shut up because you didn't like their advice?

    @Ryan George: you are fairly new to the Forums and perhaps Sean could have been a little kinder, but there's no excuse for your response.

    Some of the most knowledgeable and respected people in the SQL Server community (I'm not including myself in that category!) post on these forums and if you want their help in future, I suggest adjusting the tone of your posts.

    Hopefully just a one-off eh?

    Hello Lempster/GilaMonster,

    This is not an insolence from my side. I just expressed my feelings towards the quote. I know it was impoliteness, and I know Mr. Lange is one of the best techies and a respected person, but this is not the way you treat the newbies into the forum.

    And, I just said it. I hope he could understand that. and I hope, you too.

    Thanks for the guidance and advises. And I guess We should stop this here.

    Let me just say that I probably could have been less confrontational but it seemed to me that you were in an interview and looking for an answer. We have seen that around here many times.

    My comment is because so often we see people come around here asking for other to provide answers to interview questions so they can get a job. Often they don't want to learn the answer, they just want the job. When somebody comes here after the interview and wants to discuss the questions that caused them grief in the interview, myself and many others are happy to help the learning process. Nobody wants to just spoon feed answers, we like to help others learn.

    Let's put this misunderstanding behind us. I look forward to hopefully providing some insight on future questions.
