    and I was very surprised to see that TPTB had decided to make it worth 6 points, because it is not at all an SQLServer question - although some of the questions tagged humour have been even less relevant yet still higher scoring.

    But don't worry, my next QOTD (assuming it gets accepted - it's been pending a while) is T-SQL straight and simple, and I hope that will be more to your taste.

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for the explanation. I do indeed share your amazement at the amount of points alloted to this question, and to almost all "humour" questions. It's almost as if the amount of points for a question is inversely proportional with it's relevance to our everyday job...

    I'm glad to hear that you have another question pending, and I'm looking forward to try my hand on it. And, I hope, on many more!
