[snip conversation on addressing the issue]
Thank you Craig for following up on this. I always give myself a
point for every Derby bug I find and file even if it doesn't directly
affect me or my current support cases because I know it will help a
user down the road and help make Derby better. Even though this one
is no longer worth the point to me because of the language involved I
am sure there is a user down the road that will benefit from your
efforts.
I did want to clarify with Lance however whether he thinks the
language he used to describe the usage is appropriate for derby-user,
whether the usage itsself was correct or not. I am sure it was just
the result of a very hard day in the JDBC compliance world as I have
never seen anything like that from Lance before. I have plenty of
posts in the permanant archives resulting from such days that I wish
I could purge and often feel better knowing at least my own personal
rejection of my comment is there for the record too.
As i said in the previous email, my comments were not intended to
offend anyone, but to add humor to something we had not specifically
covered in the spec for a variety of reasons.
No worries i will not be responding on the alias going forward.

Lance, do you think your words describing the getSubString usage in
this thread :
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-should-Clob.getSubstring%28%29-allow-length-of-0--p5336628.html
were
[ ] OK
[ ] Not OK
?
Sorry for my lack of clarity in describing my concerns. I think it
stems from my unwillingness to quote or cut and paste the comment in
question.
