Hi VC

Exactly !!

Thank goodness, I thought it was just me starting to lose sense of reality ;)

The other trend I've noticed is posts by support with nothing in it. Just a blank page. I must admit, considering some of the "advice" that dished up, it could be considered an improvement.

In a recent discussion on a thread regarding how rollback segments extents are shared I had with Jonathan Lewis, the Oracle Support contribution consisted of one post that said "Trial and error is a good learning tool", 2 blank posts and a fourth that said "closing thread".

Truly !!

Does make you wonder ...

Cheers
