Numbers can be manipulated age can't, so if you feel young you are young, it's a mind over matter thang!

Have a great one Roger - getting older beats the alternative - every day I wake up is a good day

Yup; if I wake facing the right side of the dirt, I know two things: I'm still alive, and I had a good night.

Happy Birthday, Woger. I'm sure the wabbits and the warmints will be stamping their furry feet in celebration of the day as well. Now, don't youse go out a-shootin' 'em, now.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Thank you very much!
A great day spent cleaning high powered rifles I'd shot at the range on Friday, followed by a sumptuous feast of smoked pig. Not at all a bad way to celebrate the beginning of my last year as a 50-something...

Not long ago I put together a reference article for web developer tools. As I let others to add tools too it was edited by others.
I want to add all those added tools as co-authors.
How can I see who added tools to the article?

If you look at the article, on the left hand side of the page is a link to Revisions(n)[^]
A click here will let you see all changes made, and by whom.

Someone posted a question in QA, asking for help fixing the WORST SQL I've ever seen, three levels of subqueries, SIX lots of sub queries to pull out six values, then DISTINCT at the top because of duplicates. Spent quite a while deciphering the mess and posted a solution. The question had been deleted. I hate that.

I have to agree: you spend a while sorting sorting out, and bang! it's gone... Rude, I always think...
I still can't see a good reason why you can't delete a thread here if there is a response, but you can in QA where people have to put more effort in. All it does is hide peoples homework requests

No.
But you right. It's a kind of question that fooled you twice. First when you didn't recognized that it's a home-work question. And the second time when you did recognized it's a home-work question.

OK, that may have been me. the question[^] was a dump of the worst SQL code with "optimise this" as the question. It wasn't a question, it was a "fix it for me" statement.
That's what I hate.
I'll resurrect it for you. Your patience for that astounds me, but at the same time I dislike intensely encouraging people to post questions that aren't questions. Even a "I'm stuck at..." or "I've tried..." or "I heard that maybe..." would show a little self-involvement in the issue.

Totally agree.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Ah, the good old days! We'll never see the like again.

Well, Chris, you cannot shirk away your moral responsibility for allowing thousands of sub-par developers keep their jobs by running a super popular website that lets them fetch answers to stuff they have no clue about!

Thanks Nish. I feel so much more valuable to the World.
Now someone hide me before I'm lynched.
In all seriousness: our job is not just to teach, but to teach how to ask the right question.

That's a valid point.
SO attempts to do the same thing by marking "low value" posts as such and disabling replies (but not deleting the thread). Maybe posting more than n low value posts in time interval t would disbar the member from posting questions in that forum?

I answered a few questions on SO recently. My answers were correct, but, somehow did not 'meet their format'. The responses I got from more experienced users were so bad, I'll never answer there again ( FWIW, I am answering SQL questions and CP doesn't get enough, so I'm answering them in a few places at once, that's why I tried SO for the first time ).
