sknox,
What difference does it make? At the end of the day, answering a good QotD correctly only gives you two things:
1. A better understanding of SQL / SQL Server.
2. An increase to your SSC points.
. . .
So, those people who just do the copy-and-paste are actually cheating themselves out of better knowledge for a few measley points. Let them.
Exactly. The difference is that it's frustrating to think that people are cheating themselves for the sake of the stupid points. I put my comment inside pseudo-tags as an indication of what I meant to be wry sarcasm. I think we agree on the basic issue. I would hope that the points-hawks read your post and take it to heart.
