This made me think that we should hold a contest on this support network to create the most convoluted way to do something simple like assign a particular value to a variable. A Rube Goldberg Programming challenge. I believe with the sense of humor the members here have, it would be an absolute hoot to see how complicated we could make a simple variable assignment and extra points for obfuscating the code as well.
I had an idea once of having a contest for the most convoluted way to exit a form normally. You could have validations having to be performed in a certain order (remarkably different from Z-order, of course) and other such nasties. However, the only reason I am ever on the Dark Side is for the odd cookie so I demurred.
Then again, I've been so busy lately, I fell off the stats two months in a row. A blessing for sure, but still...
I hope that means dollarful (as opposed to doleful).
