| Gail, you've been a great help to me on both sites. A question for you, but it's one I'd love to ask all the regular contributors - why'd you do it? (Hint - "I like to" is an acceptable answer!!) |

I'd love to ask all the regular contributors - why'd you do it?Yeah, I was thinking about it.Maybe the reason is that I like it if someone is giving kudos to me...The other reason is the postcounter

You are hijacking a congratulations thread!That's a new low  However, in answer to your question:By answering people's questions you learn a *lot* more about SQL (and sql server) than you would just by reading other people's answers.And -- it's quite gratifying when you solve someone's problem that they've been struggling with for ages.Charlie===============================================================Msg 3903, Level 16, State 1, Line 1736The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION |

Yep, for me it's all about helping others. And the chicks too, chicks dig guys with skills. You know, like SQL Skills. |

| It's fun.It's an excellent way to learn a hell of a lot about SQL, especially things that you won't work with yourself.It's very satisfying to solve other people's problems (isn't that what development is all about?) especially if you're stuck in a job where you can't do a lot of that.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |

Oh, you'd be surprised what a conversation piece they can be, in the right hands. |
