Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain we might, but we also have a LOT of heavily technical posts as well... I enjoy the off-topic stuff (at times) when I'm not swamped. And when I am swamped, well, the delete key is a wonderful thing. I basically hit "delete all" and then review the topics and posters and see what I really want to read :) >From: Ed.Haskins@VerizonWireless.com >Reply-To: ORACLE-L@fatcity.com >To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L >Subject: OT: Off Topic - Blah, Blah, Blah... >Date: Tue, 08 May 2001 10:06:12 -0800 > >As I type, I'm guilty of committing what I'm about to rant about... > >It's not much of a "rant", but... > >I, like many on this list (ORACLE-L), subscribe and participate in both >this >and the Lazy-DBA list.
