I think someone poured concrete in your brain which makes it impossible to "normalize your design". Nearly everything (rdb, oodb, and the letter 'A') in a computer is the transformation of concepts to physical structures eventually to bits in RAM or on the hard drive.

It is the process you need to go through to rejoin humanity. Received on Mon Dec 31 2001 - 20:52:00 CST
