Well I am going way out on a limb here and going to say that about millions of us have not a clue of what it takes to alter a table with millions of records.

I could suggest a small earth quake under the building with that table full or LP's or possibly 45's on it may well alter it.

Now I do have a couple sincere questions here however.

1. Are you intimating by your post that altering a table with a mod is a poor coder choice of methodoloy?
2. You seem to find favor with the mod and yet some slanting there is a bad method used in the fruition of making this all happen in heavily populated tables. What I am concerned about is really two fold.

• One is if you think this is a poorly written program do you also have a solution to it or are you a problem only type coder that sees others mistakes but has no valid solution to share with the class?
• Have I some how misunderstood your post and you find all things about this mod of a pleasing nature?
• If the first assumption is the correct one, will you tell us your proposed solution for it?
• If above is true, do you plan on releasing the "fix" for this and if so when is the anticipated release date?
• Further and probably finally, do you have some mods you have created with similar complexity so we can see your brilliance in work and not just in word?
• Really finally now, I am convinced this mod is a God send and a wonderful one that brings enjoyment to all that either know how to install it and negotiate the hurdles they run into or else the ones that choose a professional programmer to install it for them and they simply or complexly enjoy it period. Do you think you may be a bit harsh should you be judging the mod is poorly written and not offering any valid solutions for the fix of it and have coder as your title?

Just curious you please understand.
