I have to admit to being self taught and I haven't gotten around to finishing my
big thick book on data modeling. I have been consitent with keeping my keys
"meaningless" and my tables normalized, I'm just going nuts on this project
trying to do to many things at once causing these momentary lapses :-)

Errrr, no.
