I made a one sentence aside - which you decided to pick up on and lecture me.
You have no authority. This is not a student newsgroup. If you suspect students are using this newsgroup to "cheat" and are unhappy about it, then dont respond- or take it up with your institution to formulate exams that make getting help with the odd SQL statement here irrelevant.

As I said elsewhere, this is not your newsgroup to hijack and put it in the parochial context of academia.

Frankly, I don't give a shit if your students are cheating. It is not my or this newsgroups concerns - nor should it be.
