I have been a consultant/developer/database analyst for many years and the thing that gets me most riled up is a user putting data into fields like *do not use* . However, as much 'power' as we think we have as developer's and DBAs the real power lies with our clients who say they don't want us to require fields or restrict entries... etc. Since they are the one's paying the bills if they insist they do not want this I cannot add the things I would need to add to restrict this type of thing. And, no matter what I added I could not prevent them from using someone's middle name as a 'do not use' indicator. They look at me like I am a little strange when I get so upset when I see these things. :w00t:
