|| Henry,
|| I am with all of our fellow DBA's requesting reconsideration
|| of Steve Adams'
|| removal from list.
|| Being a list member for couple of years , I found Steve
|| Adam's replies
|| as one of the finest and most authentic on oracle subject.
|| It looks that the
|| matter is handled on personal account rather than
|| professionally. I never
|| saw Steve's reply as insulting or personal to anybody rather
|| it looks his
|| replies and advices like fatherly and helping a lot of DBA community
|| experienced or newbi equally.
||
|| Besides, I was thinking that Jared Still is list owner so far....
||
|| Have a nice long weekend to all.
||
|| Regards
|| Rafiq

||
|| Dear Henry,
||
|| Please reconsider this issue !!!!!!!!!!!!!
|| I am sure there are many-many more who want to request not
|| to remove Steve and would support my mail, but are afraid
|| that other's mail-box would fill up by these request only..
|| To be frank & honest, he is the only list member who
|| has a folder in my outlook( I am not offending any-body
|| else)........
|| Seriously ... please dont' do this........
||
|| Best Regards,
|| Rajesh

||
||
|| i hope this thread is still alive.... and my reply makes it to the
|| list...
||
|| by removing Steve from the list , we all will miss the insight into
|| oracle
|| internals,
|| which he provided , thru his answers and the links (plugs ? ) to his
|| website..
||
|| many threads would end when Steve provides his
|| explanation/answer, this
|| show
||
|| the respect posters have for his knowledge or Oracle.
||
|| please reconsider
||
|| Regards
|| Rahul
