 Fair enough. Which is why I put that statement in the post. If that premise is false, .marketplace is the only place it can go. I might even be agreeing with you ;-)

 Are the products of "[you] and the companies with which you are associated" distributed directly by Oracle Corporation? That was other significant part of the premise of my question, which would preclude your "blitz", unless you _do_ produce products distributed directly by Oracle. And even then the conclusion was it would only be topical for .tools.

 Clearly this is all offtopic for .server and .misc.
