    Because you just had two pina coladas?

    That's completely misworded. It's "because you had just two pina coladas."

    This:

    Just dropped over to the Heap Consultancy and I see a comment from Bill in KC about me staring at him from the login banner and then this:

    "Steve is cool"

    Maybe I should visit SO/SE more often 😀

    Thanks, Doug. I wonder why I might get a "chilly reception".

    I doubt that you would Jeff. This is very out of context. This is their version of "the thread" and that comment in context was actually kind of funny. Nothing meant derogatory by it at all from the way I read it. I am sure they would welcome you with open arms. I mean they accepted me easily enough. And Jason...err SQLRNNR...just showed up over there too. There are a few other SSC regulars in there I have seen too.

    Got a URL or is this a test? 😀

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Sent Jeff a PM to further qualify my comment. It was dumb and I take responsibility for typing from the wrong end.

    Not to worry. I actually lost track of that thread and I'm glad you reminded me of it. It would appear that I've left some unfinished business there that I'll have to address soon. 😉 Oddly enough, it parallels another "thread" that I recently revisted some code on.

    I'd forgotten about that thread because I actually have to work for a living. 🙂 I've rediscovered it thanks to a nice PM I got. It turns out that there's a similar thread that I recently revisted the code on and will get back to both soon.

    And this is why I like SSC. The question was answered and several alternatives and improvements to process were provided. Even a minor change to the last piece of code that was graciously accepted. No slamming or berating of others for going beyond the question.

    Actually, I think the Crystal Ball is needed here. I just wanted to post a single word answer, "Yes", and see what happened. I did, however, restrain myself.

    Lynn, your highly valuable input has been used to answer the OP's question. 😉

    I feel that I should make some mention of this man's birthday today. I think without his work our lives may be very different\easier\harder, delete as appropriate.

    On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
