    An unsupported technique? I have seen this used and have been encouraged to use this technique by an experienced consulted. I'll be sending him the link to this discussion. It behaves illogically (at least to me). I expected A,B,C to be the result. I haven't run it but find it disturbing that it would be inconsistent between versions, releases, whatever BY DESIGN!

    You have to understand Microsoft's definition of "by design". It doesn't solely mean that they actively design the software to act in that way. It can also mean (as in this case) that they design the software to work to a specificiation, and since this use is outside the scope of that specification, they don't ever test for consistent results for it.
