Thank you for your feedback. I think simply my assumption is wrong. I always tried to make a link to a specific solution, but it seems this is not possible. Only a link to a question seems to be possible.

As the latest enactment of Thailand's national political psychodrama flirts with (yet another) denouement today, on the streets of Bangkok ("Krungthep," literally, the "City of Angels," always the venue for such dangerous cataclysms in the body-politic of this Kingdom of Smiles and Paradoxes-Without-Cognitive-Dissonance), on this, the shortest day of the year, the Solstice ...
How appropriate the OED word-of-the-day-e-mail brings: Quote: † abligurition, n.
[‘ Extravagant spending on food and drink.’]
Etymology: < post-classical Latin abligurition-, abliguritio action of devouring (4th cent.) < classical Latin abligūrīt-, past participial stem of abligūrīre to squander on dainties ( < ab- ab- prefix + ligūrīre (also ligurrīre) to be dainty, lick, lick up: see ligurion n.) + -iō -ion suffix1. Compare earlier abligurie n.
Obs. rare—0.
Extravagant spending on food and drink.
1742 N. Bailey Universal Etymol. Eng. Dict., Abligurition, a prodigal spending in Belly-Cheere. Well ... given almost all my sense of taste is gone (physically, that is), I am afraid my consumption of dainties will be confined to just another liter of fresh-made soy-milk, sweetened with the aphrodisiacal ambrosia of the exudate of the female sugar-palm tree.
I do want to wish all of you, my mentors, peers, boon companions making merit in the service of the Goddess Techne ... and your families ... a happy, and healthy, Holy-Holi-Days !
“I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : 'I know all about it. I've already found it.'
As far as I'm concerned, the word means: 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.'”

Sounds like, well, interesting nog you're imbibing there Bill. Best wishes of the season, and do keep your head down while the psychodrama plays out.

So, I've been working in an office for six weeks now, and loving it. My last job got me interested in learning more about SQL, and my first task in my new job was basically ALL SQL, so all that study paid off. I've really come to love SQL, actually, so I've decided to write a series of articles on it. It's a long time since I wrote for CP, it feels good to be back in the saddle, as such.

That is a great article. I'd rather link to it, than duplicate it. I will seek to do that.

Welcome back and look forward to your articles, I'm sure they will be of the caliber that all the preceding ones have been.

Thanks - honestly when I was learning MVC, I looked and it didn't seem like I had anything worth saying compared to what was out there. It feels good to finally feel like I have something to contribute.

Well, if the green ball was still in it's place it would be quite easy to spot, wouldn't it?
