OMG did I just call rob a supertwit?? Hehe...bummer

But seriously...what's the deal with this AskSQLTeam...do you have to post them manually or something?? I thought someone just had a serious sqltrip or something...a dude at the end of a 36-hour session maybe

Well...yes I'm aware of it but would I never in my wildest imagination think that these questions had to be posted manually by rob or whoever. I always assumed they popped in to the forum immediately when someone asked a quastion...but to be honest I never gave it much thought until now when I found all these new posts.

The goal of creating that was to give us ideas for articles. We could find interesting questions and turn them into articles. Those that we didn't write about would go into the forums. That worked well when we were getting five questions per week and I wrote one article per week. Now we're getting thirty questions per day and I'm writing ... well ... fewer articles per week.

Oh...really? I guess I thought it was a way to get users to the forums...for some people it's a great hassle to register on a new site with username/password, verify the account and all that just so you "maybe" get any relevant help (which in many other forums you rarely get).

And I'm sooo sorry for calling you a SuperTwit Rob...no offence

I think it cool ... they use the AskUs form to get an answer, actually get Brett saying "Follow my link to learn how to post enough information to answer you question" and they wind up having to register in order to reply to their own question.

Great business plan for a mega COUNT(*) !

Rob I think you are an all round good chap.

P.S. when you feel the need to change everyone else's Custom Titles I'm very happy that you just leave mine as it is

No apologies necessary, I kinda like SuperTwit, sounds like a comic book character.

If graz or Damian decide to change my title then that's fine.

Kristen,

One of these days we're going to upgrade your title to "Production". After much testing of course ;)

Kristen. It appears you have a cold. Maybe even Avian Flu. Won't that affect your performance more? ;-)
