Bush's Tragedy
One day, President Bush visited an elementary school. All the kids were so excited to get to meet the President. He began to talk to them and asked them to define the word ''tragedy.''
"Well," one girl replied, "If my mommy ran over my dog, Rover, that would be a tragedy!"
The President smiled at the little girl and said, "No, sweetie. That would be an accident! Can anyone give it a try?"
A little boy sitting across the room raised his hand and said, "I know! I know! If our bus driver ran off of a cliff and killed everyone!"
The President shook his head and said, "No son. That would be a great loss! Doesn't anyone know of a good example of a tragedy?"
A small girl raised her hand and said, "Well, Mr. President, if you and Laura were in Air Force One and it was hit by a missile and blown to smithereens, most people would think that that was a tragedy!"
"Very good," he said. "And what was your reason for that answer?"
"Well," she said, "It would not be an accident and it sure would not be a great loss!"
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant

No still don't see it, I get 4 articles under the title 'Great Reads' and 4 under 'Latest Articles' but that's it ... and on the right it says 'Research Library' and 'Discussions' ... no Idiots Guide ...
Perhaps its how I've got things set up ...

The easiest way to find your articles is to go to your Code Project profile. You'll find a button for your articles and that will list all of them. You can then use the links to get to where ever they've been moved.

Hi
What's the etiquette for recruiting people for a workspace - do you sign 'em up unsolicited, wait to be asked, or send a PM or what makes sense?

Bribes.
Big, in-your-face bribes - cash preferred, but bacon butties also work well.
