Since I know Tony personally, I can assure you that he does not lack
social grace across the board. He might run a little run a little low
on it when he talks with people like you or Celko.

But he would never flame someone who have made his first stumbling
attempts to use SQL Server. In difference to you know who.

You might want to read the many comments about Tony's behaviour
in the groups where he posts by people other than myself and Joe
Celko. He has been universally rude.

If perhaps he is kinder to newbies making their first stumbling
attempts to use SQL Server perhaps that is because they don't
know enough to threaten his apparently fragile veneer.

He seems to forget my proximity to Redmond and my close relationships
with many on the Microsoft campus. His reputation there is far from
unblemished.
