Why not? I am a compassionate conservative with results. Please, do not
misunderestimate me.
Change must be good for me to accept it. I simply do not see what ANSI joins
are good for.

WTF? I thought this was an Oracle list, not the Oprah Show. Where are my car
keys?
There is nothing under my chair!

That is because they haven't yet acquired the precious skill called "logic". It
is
clearly visible from the queries those younger developers write. Many people
also
think that the end of the world is near and that we live in the rapture times.
I would
recommend the "Life of Brian" to both younger developers and southern Baptists.
We
shall talk of ANSI joins again when you are able to tell me the airspeed
velocity
of an unladen swallow.
