I was notified of a database geek meme going around by some of the well-known SQL gurus (Paul Randal, Tom LaRock, Grant Fritchey, Tim Mitchell, and others) and since I was invited I thought that I would go ahead and participate as well.  This one asks “What three things or events brought ...

If it's not your work, it's not your work. I never paid much attention to the several articles out on the web about plagiarism with respect to SQL Server, blogs, etc., that is, until it happened to me.
