In the spirit of the season, here’s a

ReplyDeletelovely Alan! I never knew you had poetic talent. Heres one from me since my confidence in my poetry is sufficiently boosted by the right amount of BAC level (0.01% more and all I will be able to manage will be Haiku)
ReplyDeleteThere was once a data quality quandary
That caused the experts much perplexity
However closer examination, revealed the explanation
That the data quality error was but a symptom of process anomaly
Wish you and your family a very happy Christmas and new year
