Maybe blogging is just self-absorbed drivel and Oracle people are more interested in communicating and solving problems? Or maybe Oracle is just too much work to allow time for blogging? Or maybe bloggers are Mac or MS-centric people and Oracle people understand multiuser issues on a higher level? Or maybe people just can't stand black letters on a white background?

(Please understand that I don't like most BB software that the Oracle discussion boards use either. If it were up to me, we'd all be posting with line mode unix newsreaders).
