What is about people who try and sell their software with SPAM? This is the second one in a row who starts questioning the competance of anyone who dares question their 'ultimate' or 'brilliant' work. Don't these people have *any* social skills?

Yet another attempt to hurl abuse at the world in general. Have you finised insulting everyone yet?

Apparently not...

Half of the readers of this newsgroup must have worked for Larry at some time. Merely having worked for Oracle does not make you worthy of respect.
