What happens if you do "WHERE CLUE > 0"? Or even "CLUE < 0"?

Well, you got me there, it should have been "clue > 0."

I'm still interested in whether your clueless ones have zero clue, or actively negative clue...

Alas, I'm just trying to find clients with 1 or more clues. -TG

You're using "clue" as a boolean in this case, it looks like. It needs to be WHERE clue = 1 or WHERE clue = TRUE. Unless, that is, you've got varying levels of clue (say clue is a single precision number, or an integer, or the like).

That may be your problem.

Well, some clients, theoretically, might have lots of clues.

Not in practice, mind you, just theoretically.

Next thing you know you will CAST aspersions on your clients. Is a client with clues your TYPE?

You're certain that clue is not a string, right? Such as 'duh' or one tied around someone's finger...

Heh... closest I've come to that was the aspersions of Holy Water the priest in Munich settled on me and my Bible at the Cathedral. And no, he wasn't my type. I'm a Protestant. ;)

But I was clueless about it when I commited the "horrible sin" of accepting the Eucharist from him. Oops! *Blush*

Ah, one of the invented sins. Silly, isn't it?

Quite. Unfortunately, the fact that it's silly did not prevent the Thirty Years' War, or the centuries of bloodletting since.

Because that's what the fights started over-- the question of transubstantiation (the changing of the "host" elements into the literal flesh and blood of Jesus, for any unknowing that might be reading this).

It is sad that this be a reason to kill people, but it happens. It is happening today.

The "kinder, gentler" approach used by some of the churches in the United States is laudable, and is what many of us are used to--but this has not been typical in the world's history.

It's really a tragedy

You mean the actual Christian approach? It's sad, really. People go out and commit great attrocities in the name of Christ. But what Christ taught was exactly the opposite. Take the woman caught in Adultery: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

All the time, Jesus taught that it was not our place to kill another for his or her beliefs or actions. But it is still done, and it gives Christianity a very bad name.
