I sit here and wonder how those people at the top are nearly perfect in the QOD with so many that were wrong.
Multiple registrations?
Probably - just gaming the system then.
But what's the point of gaming the system - the points for QOD are trivial, the people with lots of points overall are the ones who post lots to the forums.

It's probably for the $10/point that us Americans get paid by SSC.

I usually don't even both looking at the QOD. I find the "real life" questions in the forums more interesting. 😉 The points come a little harder but they're much more satisfying.
Hey, Steve! Where's my "mug"? 😛

Uhm.. (scratches head) most of us have ours on the front of our heads?

And isn't it 30 days to Barry, then 30 days to you? 😉
OK, I got lost somewhere about 200 posts back, WTF did Lynn and I buy 30 days of?
Higher ranking than Paul. First he will pass you (in 30 days) then Lynn (after 30 more days). In reference to him posting 100 posts a day / 3000 posts a month.

oookay, guess I should have included the smiley face ... 😀

You only get $10/point? You should renegotiate your contract!

I don't want it. I understand SQL Server clustering, but this gets into geographically dispersed clustered, and I know the MSCS doesn't support it (yet) and that it can be done, but takes special software and has some pretty strict requirements.
