So far no one's standing would change with the real counts, unless we fix MVJ's and not webfred's.  Kristen and madhivanan would close their gap by half though. |

                                          | He's insinuating (sarcastically of course) that we post false topics/replies and then delete them.  A delete doesn't take away a post from your count.I had to delete a bunch of replies in one of my topics a few years ago for providing too much information, but that would only have been like 10 posts maybe.  I do delete my posts sometimes when I've been sniped, although with how fast I type, sniping doesn't happen too often.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog  |

                                          Nah, I still get to do SQL, but up until 4 weeks ago, I was still using 2000.I just changed jobs, so now I get to play with all the 'new' stuff in 2005 and 2008.As for twitter... for an IT person, I tend to avoid the techy stuff for some reason.  I did finally succomb to facebook, but twitter, fax machines, and smart phones I am still holding out on.    Maybe I'll make it there one of these days.Corey I Has Returned!!  |
