Funny... Let's just hope he stick to computers.  I'd be scared if he started
dabbing into modern medicine or decided to become a chiropractor. :o)

Ahhh I like it:
you'll never learn to fix something, until you've broken something. Just
don't try it with the schema ;-)

Well he did say he was in a test domain.

Possibly it would - but with him being so specific, I did wonder if he
had application reasons for specifying a container. Otherwise, I would
have thought he would naturally understand the usage of an OU.

Either way - he now knows.

I did *try* at least to express some caution over messing with the
schema *merely* so that something would be viewable in ADU&C ;-)

And besides, I've always had this philosophy - you'll never learn to fix
something, until you've broken something. Just don't try it with the
schema ;-)
