I, in fact, do recall that post. Distantly in my mind, I thought of that old saw:
"Hope for the best; expect the worst; and you'll never be disappointed".
Somehow if someone could convince everyone to believe they're expected to be 'the grownup in the room' . . . naah. That's delusional on my part.

I think you're being overly sensitive about that post. It was harmless. You seem to be trying to gloat since he was one of your soapbox enemies. Therefore, your post is also in violation of the Lounge rules.

No. Applying derogatory labels to political leanings, using the basic vernacular of the Soapbox, is exactly the point.
Add to that the total irrelevance to the context of the OP(s) and you have something pretty obvious going on. Unless, of course, you agree with the aspersions, at which point they are considered no big deal.

Well I ran into something.
If you want to do a B+ tree or B-tree as a disked based container you have to lay your file out in blocks.
The trouble with that is that so many .NET types are not fixed length when they serialize (and even then, their serialization is cluttered with typeinfo i don't need - i already know the type)
so i either have to modify the B+ trees and B-trees substantially and go above and beyond what traditional database systems do by allowing indexable arbitrary length fields in a "table".
Failing that I'd have to abandon the dictionary based disk indexers and go full on ADO.NET provider, which is a ton of overhead in terms of labor.
I'm leaning toward the latter but holy cow, do i have my work cut out for me.
Unless any of you have other ideas?
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

didn't Chris tell you to back off?
If you had some sense you'd just block me and move on with your life.

I believe we should keep voting until the answer I want is achieved. (The Remainers option!)
(And then never allow the plebes to vote again!)
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

The only Brexit that ever actually went anywhere was in the year 1999 and purely accidental. It cost us the moon[^].

after all the voting is done, counted, and the result known
... can I suggest we vote again.
many people who didn't expect the result obtained, and may want to change their mind.

(or was 2016 a good year for getting the best results  )

Indeed. The extra energy required to run the Soapbox contributes to global warming. And who wants to hear the fake news of liberal socialists?

So - you've got it all solved - you brought the Soapbox to the lounge. Congratualtion (and a smiley face does't fix it).

But the stupid idiots who voted to Leave the soapbox unrestored didn't know what they were voting for, and were lied to about what not restoring the soapbox actually meant. No-one told them that Leaving the soapbox unrestored meant that everyone would get unsubscribed and the whole of CP could collapse. In any case the option wasn't to Leave the soapbox unrestored, but to restore the soapbox and just make people pay for it, with an open cheque for CP to charge what they like. Oh and no-one would be allowed to post to it anyway. In fact it's probably not legal to Leave the soapbox unrestored, and even if people voted to Leave it unrestored, by the time CP got around to not restoring it then maybe everyone would have changed their minds, or if not then they'd have died anyway, so what does it matter? Just have another poll until everyone agrees to restore the soapbox.
