Re: New Oracle monitoring tool ...

So, I did one of the queries below, and even took some time to decide which might apply, then I read it and low and behold it says nothing about what should and should not be posted in each ng. It seems to be authoritative, so now I have done my research and I go and post and get jumped on and told to read the FAQ, which I have already done. Damned if you do, and if you don't.

NGs like these should have a .faq so that at least the info is readily apparent BEFORE jumping on someone. Or, like some other NG I use to be one someone took the time to post the FAQ each week.
