Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

:Whistling: Maybe, just to help out folks like this, we should rename this site to MicrosoftSQLServerCentral.com? :w00t:

Nah... still wouldn't help out.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Thanks, I'd probably do that if I had a blog (and I will, once I get out of school and take a break for a bit, which won't be for a couple years). LinkedIn seemed the next best option. Or XKCD, but decided on LinkedIn 😛
