    Has anyone else noticed a new trend in UserID names here? There are a number of individuals using the format "Name / xxx programmer". I truly inspire greatness. :)

    Now you are even thinking like a VB programmer... it should be "Name / < T > programmer" :-D

      All of your data members and methods would start with "rrrrr".

      You'll find the pirate programmer on the coasts of Somalia after work. :)

        I'd say you'd be more honest going the route of Jim Crafton / TiVo Programmer ;P //L

                  You are indeed an inspiration and a model for all new developers. I myself was thinking about changing my name to one of: 1.21 Gigawatts / Static Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Shock Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Isolated Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Don't touch this Programmer But can't make up my mind... :)

                    Does this mean we'll be trending towards unemployed developers now? Sorry, I know I shouldn't have. But as it is unlikely that JSOP will have trouble finding employment, I figured I could. ;P //L

                      Probably yes, to be a programmer is a stressful thing.

                                Hey Maunder - could you get someone to run a query that analyses all the CodeProject usernames and count how many are in the form "Name / xxx programmer" please? I just want to quantify John's inspiration levels. That way, we have a benchmark we can all strive for.
