See what happens when you forget to put a smiley at the end of a post. :) FWIW, I find English to be an endlessly fascinating language and the tension between the descriptive and prescriptive schools of grammar is a constant source of amusement.
So whether indices or indexes (see how I keep this on topic) in AD sufficiently increase the IQ (index quotient) of a particular query all depends on which object classes the indexed attribute appears in and what the demographics of the value space is. A common reason I've heard for not indexing objectClass is that it is multi-valued and included a value, Top, that is common to all objects. Well, just because a particular value is not helpful in selecting a proper subset of objects doesn't mean that other values are similarly worthless. For me the more interesting question for the modern AD schema czar is whether or not to start enabling containerized indices (or indexes if you'd rather) and when those become beneficial.

Honest :) "Facsimiles" is already a plural and "fax" is an abbreviation of "facsimile". The plural of "facsimile" is thus "facsimiles" and the plural of "fax" is "faxes". Where the analogy with ox and oxen sprang from, I have no clue :) neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee, Wook Sent: 20 April 2006 19:37 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: going waaaayyy OT [ActiveDir] stupid ldap queries So would the correct Latin be viri? We used to sometimes refer to more than one VAX as VAXen using the ox/oxen model. Multiple facsimiles would then be faxen.
