    How many of you have ever asked a question like this? "So there's this co-worker of mine needing help with _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ do you have any good links or information?" and the co-worker is really you but you don't want anyone to know? Come on! Fess up! Be honest. I just did this in the ADO/SQL section for fun and had to laugh as I wondered how often each of us has done this. For me I think I can safely say I've done it maybe a dozen times at least. If you are really bold fess up and tell what your question was that you were faking your identity for. No really! You're among friends we won't mock or shame you ... very much.;)


    My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered process, husband to a murdered thread. And I will have my affinity, in this life or the next. - Gladiator. (Okay, not quite Gladiator but close.) I work to live. I do not live to work. My clients do not seem capable of grasping this fact. Ancient of days! august Athena! where, Where are thy men of might? - Lord Byron

      I have honestly never done that. Instead, I ask co-workers to ask the questions for me. It's all in the phrasing. ;)

        I don't have co-workers. It's just me, myself and I. If I become bi-polar (and I just might) then I'll have co-workers.:sigh:

          You got some serious issues man. I would normally recommend seeing a professionel, but I think it's too late for you. :sigh:

            Definately never done that. I *have* been stuck on something that seemed trivial enough that I felt determined to fix it and not have to ask.

                  Honestly I haven't done that. I'm never ashamed of my ignorance. It is my occasional bouts of laziness that prevent me from pushing aside the curtain of ignorance that cause me feelings of shame. -- modified at 23:43 Tuesday 1st May, 2007

                            Google can at times be too saturated with information and when you are searching for something kind of generic sifting through the results can at times make you wish for 'grep' in Google but only if you could get a bulk diluge of all 100 results on the page where a 'grep' would be more than summary. I've considered writing a shell script in Linux that would issue a Google query and then 'grep' inside the first 10 results and step to the next 10 if you didn't find any hits. I have to admit though I'm not a Google blackbelt at all. I can do very basic searches but I have no idea how to constrain results to narrower and narrower sets outside of quoting strings.

                              The development groups I have worked with were so small I would have to make up an imaginary employee to deflect attention.

                                How many of you have ever asked a question like this? "So there's this co-worker of mine needing help with _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ do you have any good links or information?" and the co-worker is really you but you don't want anyone to know? Come on! Fess up! Be honest. I just did this in the ADO/SQL section for fun and had to laugh as I wondered how often each of us has done this. For me I think I can safely say I've done it maybe a dozen times at least. If you are really bold fess up and tell what your question was that you were faking your identity for. No really! You're among friends we won't mock or shame you ... very much.;)

                                  I don't have co-workers. It's just me, myself and I. If I become bi-polar (and I just might) then I'll have co-workers.:sigh:

                                    I have honestly never done that. Instead, I ask co-workers to ask the questions for me. It's all in the phrasing. ;)
