So now people need a motivation like this to read Best Practices?

What a shame!

It's adding you to a spam database for a t-shirt. Too high a price I feel.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

You mean for the name or the content?

Bit strong but I don't like it either. They don't charge "experts" who earn enough points. I kept answering questions on there to keep my freebies going but stopped in the end. The main problem is that "experts" compete for points. As such, questions are answered straight irrespective of how poor a practice they are. If somone wants to create a dynamic SQL trigger using a cursor to email users they get the answer. Best practice is not something that gets bandied around much. I much prefer here and dbforums where, even if things sometimes get heated (yay!), issues do get debated and their is genuine knowledge sharing.

Guess what.. I just had a call from a guy in Quest and was asking if I was interested in a webcast from Kevin Kline tomorrow. I shamelessly asked for the free T-shirt and he said he will have one sent .
