There's definitely a difference from having a problem with NULL's and
acknowledging that some people will be overwhelmed when trying to
incorporate them into the conditionals of a query.  I agree, they are
nice... but, they can complicate conditionals fairly quickly--adding even
more wonderful OR's to the clause--unless you truly understand them.

Yeah, you inferred any disrespect, I assure you.
