I think we're actually pretty much in agreement, just with a slightly different conclusion. If a lot of these "funny image" posts started cropping up, that would not be good (and maybe that's reason enough to nix this puppy?), but I'd never seen anything like this bag of chocolates, and it got a chuckle out of me, so I gave it the upvote. Programming languages prose... definitely more pertinent. You're right, the picture might not have to do webapps. I think I was imagining those square brackets were the result of some ASP gone astray, but I don't actually know what ASP looks like, so why would I assume that? Now I'm going to downvote myself and go to bed.

The square brackets are SQL syntax; they let you reference column names containing 'funny' characters, in this case whitespace. It's definitely not ASP. BTW, ASP doesn't really 'look' like anything, since it's just an environment for the actual languages (vbScript, ECMAScript, C#, whathaveyou) that drive the server side. I wish I didn't know that.

Fair enough. It's as much about relevancy as it is about the level of discourse around here. And, whatever the value of the post, it's led to to thoughtful and even handed discussion so I'm hard pressed to complain about the latter.
