"I thought the idea of this site was to help people do what ever they need to do with the tools avaiable to them"

Well no, this site is not a place for people to post questions about fixing their car with whatever tools they have available. To find out what this site is intended to do please read What is PerlMonks? from the PerlMonks FAQ.

"and stop referring me to those nodes, ive read them, it dosent mean i cant comment on them in what ever fashion i like"

Because you keep moaning in the CB and in nodes about getting downvoted I keep referring you to nodes which try to explain the reasons why people get downvoted, and what the value of XP actually is. This is not D&D, you will not die if you lose all of your XP.

"Obviously i dont have as much mysql experince, but i still "know" sql, coz ive made 3 websites using it, i havent had to stick to fecthes together, hence i didnt know you could do it in sql, so i suggeted a tt solution"

Correct me if I am wrong, but when you first came here you said that you had inherited the LSRFM site. I suppose the question about "knowing" something (or someone) is open to interpretation. You can know who someone is by being able to put a name to a face, or you can have known someone for a long time, know a lot about who they are, and what they have done in their life. The two are clearly worlds apart.

Obviously TIMTOWTDI, but not every solution to a problem makes sense under the circumstances. For example your idea of using TT to do something you should be doing at a SQL level makes very little sense, as there is now more code to maintain for this solution, and databases are very good at this kind of thing anyway. Don't get me wrong, thinking outside the box is great, so long as the solution you end up with makes sense.
