    It doesn't happen too often but it does occur.

    And I've discovered the importance of attribution, the advice doesn't seem as good if I don't know who gave it...
    I found my bookmarks were getting unwieldy, so I've installed a private blog on my laptop for such stuff, which I use for my own notes as well. It's easy to search and should I want to post accumulated thoughts elsewhere they are already in HTML format.

    I agree on the attribution thing. I've started doing that myself for technical stuff I might want to go back to.

          I delete my PMs when it gets full.

            Yay, I have PM's.

            3 Of them

            None of which said anything worthwhile.

            But the thought was there.

                  Have you tried some sort of lubricant? Otherwise I'd PM a doctor about it rather than some random IT numpty

                    Oops, I sent my doctor a request for some help configuring security on SQL Server. What a mix up.
