    @Jeff:

    Thanks for your feedback. I will try to create a more well thought-out article for my next submission based on the comments in this discussion. I looked around for an article that guides article writing, but couldn't find one. Would a prolific contributor like to write for us? :hehe:

    You mean the "Sexy Enough for Dinner Conversation?" site? No, I'll pass... I like to get all my "punishment" through a single source. 🙂 But I very much appreciate the offer.

    You seem to write a lot on that site, Ted... in fact, quite the writer you are. So, I'm curious... Why did you shortcut this article on "deletes" so badly?

    Also, just to be sure... the intent of my comments was not to punish... they were meant to be suggestions. But, just like one of your articles said, "Because IT lacks an inherent human element,..." it is sometimes difficult to make a suggestion or comment on something without coming across that way. Sorry...

    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.
