If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

No, that was deliberate. When the solution was automatically removed, it was tagged as change to the question, and it reappeared at the top of the unanswered list.
I added the comment so people didn't waste their time answering a question that the OP was very unlikely to even remember!

None so far have got through...which means he may be busy, but he's also dumb as a stump... Laugh | :laugh:

This: C# Text to speech - CodeProject[^]
From this: Ratul Thakur - Professional Profile - CodeProject[^]
It's not a article - it's way too trivial, and add nothing to the official documentation.
It's probably spam: the wordpress link is probably the reason for it's existence.
But... all the code blocks look like they are copied from CP. It's the "Hide Copy Code" bit above each of them.
I can't find the actual source though.
Your thoughts, people?

I spotted the tell tale markers that meant it had been copied from somewhere on this site, but I'm blowed if I can find it. I'm going to look for a bit longer.

Latest Messages - CodeProject[^]

Every single message takes the form, "Nice article, here's a link to a similar article on another site". Most links go to one specific site, although the most recent messages have introduced three other suspicious looking sites.

Member questions & answers - CodeProject[^]

Most answers seem OK, but the three most recent link to one of the same sites as his messages, as do some of the older answers. One even links to a commercial "SQL Recovery" tool sold on that site.

It smells pink and ham-like to me. Any other thoughts?
