Bill,
Sybrand regularly posts to the "comp.databases.oracle.*" newsgroups. Most of his posts have similar tone and content to the above. Anyone who regularly monitors these newsgroups is well aware of that. It would appear that you do not regularly monitor these newsgroups. Perhaps if you would become more involved in these newsgroups (rather than use them as a free 'solve-my-problems-for-me' service), you would get a lot more benefit from them.

(By the way, your spelling of 'orical' implies you don't have much experience with that, either.)

Good Luck,
Avi. Received on Wed Dec 17 2003 - 02:07:39 CST
