Dick,
We should formalize this rant and post it and a web page
and publicize it.
Almost without exception, databases for 3rd party software
are designed in the dark by drunken monkeys.
In the past I've toyed with the idea of offering a service
of ERD and database design to 3rd party developers, but have
since realized that they have no interest in selling quality
products.
As for posting your rant, I have a domain 'duhvelper.com' that
I haven't done anything with yet...
