    I'm not a "member" of that particular site so I can't see the whole article. What I glean from the two articles is that there used to be a difference in the early days and that there's really no difference now.

    What is interesting is, if you scroll down in the 2nd article, you'll find that "PAD INDEX" supposedly makes the 0% and 100% fills even "tighter"... seems like they both leave 1 extra row without it.

    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.
