Hmm. you seem to claim some knowledge about Newsgroups, and decry the ignorance of others. You claim groups are open yet you post with a dummy email address. But it is you that has no real understanding.

Newsgroups are not CHAT ROOMS where any topic is allowed. The similarity to chat rooms is that newsgroups tend to have unique cultures. And if you know anything about newgroups, you know that you should read a group for a time to get an idea of what is appropriate and what ISN'T appropriate. These meta-topic discussions serve to show the culture of the group (often showing that it is not monolithic too!).

News groups are named to at least SUGGEST their purpose. Hence there exists both a
  comp.database.oracle.misc
and a
  comp.databases.oracle.marketplace
And topics seldom cross group boundaries. The advert that triggered this thread belongs in the marketplace group and at the very least is OFF TOPIC in the .misc group.

Newsgroups have Charters that describe the topic area. So if you have any doubt, do a little homework and find out for yourself what belongs and doesn't belong in this group.

Now a weed is just a flower that's in the wrong place and newsgroup SPAM is a posting in the wrong place. Some of us like to be neat, putting things in their proper place. You apparently prefer things to be sloppy. (Sloppy desks might be okay but not sloppy code or newsgroup postings.)

 If you wish to read about new products for ORACLE, then subscribe to the marketplace group. Then when the PEAR posting does appear there properly, we can both be happy.
