Re: [ST-GSPUSER.US@oracle.com: Updated Security Alert #42 patch]

Let me get this straight, they know I downloaded the patch but they don't know when/which? Maybe they could use Microsoft SQL Server to keep track of this information. Maybe they could do something really advanced like put a version number in the readme.

OK, I'm done. Thanks for listening ;)

Get it, listening!

I get no respect....
