OK - I can't work out what is going on here. I left my previous job in Feb 2020 (I know - a *very* good time to quit) and only started working again in Jan this year. So have dusted off my account here.
Has it been mighty quiet around here or something? I'm apparently 216 th on the over all leader board - very surprising as I thought I was lower than that two years ago 🙂
Good to see you back Stuart

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!

Thank you, kind Sir and thank you and all the denizens of this fine forum for what you do, as well Here's a pic of the post that did it...
It's been and continues to be a real pleasure to work and commiserate with people like yourself, Jonathan. Seems like I've know quite a few of you "forever"... at least through a couple of generations of Developers. 😀

________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.

Congrats, Jeff. Quite an achievement. I used to try and keep ahead, but haven't bothered.
Now I wonder where I get to 1mm first. Here or in miles flown. At 775k with United and at least 30 more booked this year.

What is being done to combat the massive influx of spam posts which are happening multiple times a day at the moment?

There are naive questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand (the world). There is no such thing as a dumb question. ― Carl Sagan
