Yes this is just going to go round in circles. There is a camp of fine, intelligent and no doubt dashingly good looking people on this board who see that a null is not a value, but a flag or a marker, and as such has no place in any logical system. Then there are pickies who know this, but say, hey who cares about all that, look at how great our system works. And then there are the null-ites. What more can be said? ;) Received on Mon Dec 05 2005 - 14:36:21 CET
