    Maybe it's because your face is marred by dust and sweat and blood....

    Several responses came to mind... all of them would just get me in trouble. I'll go with "yeah, what he said"

    Heh. I had some good lines too, but now that you point it out Grant, yeah, probably would have gotten me in trouble too. :hehe:

    Jeff, I just read your comment about the MS 70-433 book. I happy I did not order the MS one.

    Now if that other 70-433 book would just get here!!! Mailman must be a slow reader.

    I must have missed that article - what 'other' 70-433 book are you referring to? I have the MS version and I feel more like a proof-reader than someone attempting to study from it; typos galore.

    This other book:

    The Real MCTS SQL Server 2008 Exam 70-433 Prep Kit: Database Design

    http://www.amazon.com/Real-MCTS-Server-2008-70-433/dp/1597494216/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1

    Thank you.

    hmmm, Gail, in Compatability Level thread, SQL 2009? 🙂

    (We'll assume it was a simple typo)

    aka SQL 2008 R2 early release edition. 😀

    That's from replying late at night.... If I can find the thread again, I'll fix it.

    To her, the Milanese are aloof. To her, since in her experience there are more white men working with MS-SQL, everyone participating in that conversation is a "white man". To her, white men don't respect or value the contributions of a black women. Ergo, any request in that thread for her to clarify her meaning is perceived as another white man telling the black woman to run along. She is so caught up in seeing herself as a victim of racial and gender discrimination that she played that "card" with virtually no chance that anyone knew or cared if she was black.

    If I recall from earlier 'discussion', she's Chinese (or of Chinese descent)

    Am not really following the cert thread any longer. Haven't bothered unsubscribing, but I'm just deleting notifications

    Just being curious: How close is that particular behavior of that specific person to be qualified as being a Troll? (disclaimer: limited to that particular thread due to the lack of further evidence)

    The subject itself is interesting. The disturbance is not.

    Her spamming the same "credentials challenge" response to everyone is 100% in the Troll Zone. Up to that point, however, technically not trollism or even close, really.

    Comparing her current material from 3 or 4 years ago, I'd say she's long overdue some time off.

    BTW welcome back Barry, I hope you're feeling better. My shootin' buddy Nige is currently going through the mill with colitis. Not nice.

    Cheers

    At this point, I've forgotten what they were. I'm pretty sure nothing terribly witty.

    Oh wait, I remember one. On it's way to you, and yes, it's not terribly witty.
