That's a technique the vociferous ignorami master very quickly. I cannot count how many times Celko dumped 1000 word chunks of complete gibberish copied and pasted without any regard whatsoever for relevance or correctness into discussions with his betters.

It's a form of shameless self-promotion and misrepresentation. It would be harmless if it did not interfere with people earnestly trying to learn.

Dawn is a self-aggrandizing ignorant, and this has been proved many times by many people. It's a waste to even address her.

As an effective time management technique, I suggest you get a newsreader with a twit-filter and plonk her into it. Received on Tue Feb 14 2006 - 11:11:20 CST
