The Yak Corral 007

The old one has hit 1000 so this is yet another preemptive strike to avoid melt down of vBulletin. No doubt in years to come they may release a fix - then again they probably won't.

Happy yakking

Oh yes, Johnny come lately should get to start the next Corral, not DBF's most loyal and productive member.

Forgotten it won't be.

I wish you guys would quit that. I hate updating my favorites to point to the new pads.

Sorry Cowbody... We tried that, a couple of times. New URLs for the Corral seems less hassle than having the database crash several times a year.

Database, Shmatabase... Don't you realize it's Me you are inconveniencing? ME. Obviously you don't know who I am. I am Mr. Importante.

My mommy told me so.

That's one of the things I like about my current position. I pretty much NEVER have meetings. One a week for less than an hour that is just a team "what are you doing?" update meeting, virtually no others. A far cry from the last couple where I spent at least half my time in meetings.

I'm not calling him a cowboy.

I'm acknowledging him as the cowboy around DBForums.

Great zot George, read the silly message.

Somewhere you must have posted a milestone. Is that anything like passing a kidney stone?
