Mr. Gogala, the problem with the comp.databases.oracle. * hierarchy is that many posters don't want to do any research themselves, they just want to be spoonfed.
A second problem is that many regulars, you included, are unwilling to respond to the RTFM questions, leaving the burden to do so to a very few.
Consequently your remarks are insulting and inappropiate for a Redneck author, where Redneck authors are boasting to adhere to etiquette.
