    CTD? ok you've stumped me, Circling the Drain? Close to Death? Cheaper Than Dirt? what's your meaning here? I hope I don't have to take points off my geek score for not knowing this.

    Sorry, I should have written it in full: CTD = Compulsive Tuning Disorder - - the horrible syndrome suffered by too many DBAs and SysAdmins and developers (and System Architects) that makes them too busy burnishing the pine needles to notice that there's a forest-wide problem. The term has been around in database circles for 8 or 9 years I think, coined by Vaidyanatha who wrote books on Oracle so maybe better known in Oracle circles than in SQL Server circles.
