OK sorry, I was not intending to be truculent.

It seemed to me that you were writing as an authority, who would have had an editor review your submission for completeness. Had I understood that you were sharing the process of discovering a significant performance difference between two methods (regardless of other options) - I would have taken a much different tone in my comment.

Thanks for pointing out that sqlservercentral.com articles are community-driven. What I have read to date made me believe they're authored by paid writers - so in that vein, keep up the good work.
