Both SQL-Safety and Toad-World seems to be done by the same person. (See the about me in SQL-Safety. Same name and same pic that toadworld)

The question is... is that person the same than the CP user here?

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?

That's exactly what I would have liked to ask from the CP author... If there would be a new message button Smile | :)

Then I think that is better asked in B&S-forum than here.

Looking at the source of the SQL Safety post, we have:

XML

<meta name="twitter:site" content="@derekman1" />
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@derekman1" />

The "derekman" name seems to fit with the CodeProject member "derekman9707".

On Twitter, derekman1[^] has the display name "David Dye", which matches the author name from the Toad World post.

So unless the SQL Safety site has copied both the article and author profile from Toad World, and set up a fake Twitter profile, it looks like it's all the same author. Smile | :)

Thanks for the report, but it's a good idea to post a link to the member http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11077807[^] as well as his crime. That way if the message disappears first, the member can still be identified and smacked with the ban hammer! Laugh | :laugh:

It's pretty content free, and while it has no link it smells spammy. The member joined yesterday, and this is his first post.

Your thoughts, anyone?

It smells a little rancid to me. Though he is asking how it's done, the highlight to draw attention to the appname is suspicious.
