You pasted the entire SQL statement, that's how. It isn't hard to be
able to say, "Wow, that is a really bad piece of SQL" and frankly Tom
(not that he needs me to defend him) is one of the most (if not the
most) qualified people to make that statement on this list.

Tony, it is obvious that you do not get the FOSS way of doing things
in the least.

If you post publicly something that is that ugly, then it is going to
get critiqued. It is that simple. You don't like it, don't post.

I have more than once taken my beatings on this list. It is time for
you to either grow a thicker skin or unsubscribe.
