Fair enough, David. As I've mentioned, I'm not here to convince cdt'ers other than as needed to push myself further, learning vocabulary and concepts and refining my own opinions on related topics.  On the other hand, I started the blog with an interest in influencing others and know that I'm not yet at the point (and might never be) where you might have any take-aways from it.

Hearing your experiences and other differing experiences has been helpful. For example, I have thought many times about what made datatrieve (as little as I can recall of it) such a nice tool. I was going to ask you again to recall what might have been better about it than SQL, for example, although that should likely be in a new thread.
