If I remember correctly the owner of SQL USA.com is some horrible TSQL dude from somewhere out west. There were some posts regarding him where he basically sold sql server 2k5 CD's with some horrible and I mean horrible examples IIRC. He I think was banned from the site...so maybe he recreated the user name...

Or it could be his daughter who actually reviewed her father's own videos in hopes to sell them. Why they have a button for an image is beyond me..but it probably was a hyperlink to order the CD.

I don't think sqlusa was banned. many regulars just hounded him with witty retorts to his idiotic posts until he left. ;)

Fascinating. Funketekun arrived on the SQLTeam scene way before SQLUSA (I know that SQLUSA was active elsewhere for some time). Maybe Funketekun bought the SQL USA cds and thinks they are great. That would explain a lot actually.

My understanding was the site becamse unmoderated so he was not banned but the regulars gave him very short shrift. A couple of them post on here now so they could confirm - Peso for one. Another guy - russell somebody.

The IP addresses of sqlusa and funketekun are different, so either it's a different person or he's using a different machine to post on. I'd bet it's his daughter. Based upon funketekun's "junior" questions, he/she hasn't learned anything from sqlusa's brilliant CDs.

You should have asked that question until you get answer

May be OP will reply if he/she knows how to get yesterday's data
