agree, to an extent. i actually filter out the queries in the admin panel, before letting them execute.

ie: no update, delete, select into, alter bla bla stuff.

but the select queries can be real helpful. eg: select all the themes and rank them by popularity and generate a list that can be included between [ list ] tags in a post, to allow the users to see what's both available and popular and the links automatically click to a preview of said style.

that saves me tons of time and users like to see where their favorite style is in the standings etc, but the admins (without that) are too arsed to keep updating the list manually.

oh and i bow back to you wink
