[snip conversation on addressing the issue]

Thank you Craig for following up on this.  I always give myself a point 
for every Derby bug I find and file even if it doesn't directly affect 
me or my current support cases because I know it will help a user down 
the road and help  make Derby better.  Even though this one is no longer 
worth the point to me because of the language involved  I am sure there 
is a user down the road that will benefit from your efforts.

I did want to clarify with Lance however whether he thinks the language 
he used to describe the usage is appropriate for derby-user, whether the 
usage itsself was correct or not. I am sure it was just the result of a 
very hard day in the JDBC compliance world as I have never seen anything 
like that from Lance before.  I have plenty of posts in the permanant 
archives  resulting from such days that I wish I could purge and often 
feel better  knowing at least my own personal rejection of my comment is 
there for the record too.

Lance, do you think your words describing the getSubString usage in this 
thread :
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-should-Clob.getSubstring%28%29-allow-length-of-0--p5336628.html

were
[  ] OK
[  ] Not OK

?

Sorry for my lack of clarity  in describing my concerns.  I think it 
stems from my unwillingness to quote or cut and paste the comment in 
question.

Kathey
