You'll not get an answer. The woman (aka Jitendra) likely has little or minimal knowledge of anything
related to Oracle. Rather it appears that her relationship to TUSC is more in line with the relationship
a 12 year old girl has with Brittany Spears. She is an infatuated, fixated, groupie in desperate need of
help. I wish I could be more specific but invite you to use your imagination an read between the lines.

It would be best to just ignore her and anything she posts.
