As I read your response I find myself thinking of you as less than mature. Any response you provide here to a serious inquiry can be taken just as seriously, as you have, no doubt, discovered. Your 'joke' was mistaken as serious advice and acted upon. This is irresponsible. For someone who professes to provide assistance yours was the least helpful and most potentially damaging. It is a good thing that Oracle won't allow such advice to be acted upon. His database could have been seriously damaged by your comments otherwise.

Also, please learn to properly communicate your ideas. Your "youthful vernacular" indicates, on the surface, at least, inexperience in your field and inexperience in communicating ideas to others.
