oh that's funny... yeah rick, dbmod will probably be wandering around in a day or two and locking large threads...

BTW: In labug's thread, your last post there, regarding the length of time thing... not sure exactly how you meant it...

Here's the thing, though... harsh, but something to really consider... if your W truly is MLC...

YOU (your M) ARE ALREADY DEAD! As in the stockdale paradox...

I am sure you understand this, but many people who assume MLC (whether it is or not) sometimes get the feeling that whether or not they do any work, the MLCer will come out the other side and then things can be considered...

That's danger making... even some of the more obvious signs of MLC can be part of a vanilla WAS script... MLC gives us a false sense of available time, as Cadet and others have mentioned above...

it's best that we assume we don't have that luxury... and living like we're already dead... that can help motivate us in any sitch...
