It does not really matter to me but many of the people in this newsgroup won't interact with you if you top post. It depends on what interface they use for this newsgroup.

To get around in oracle to an acceptable level your going to have to at some point get beyond using the pretty GUI.

The GUI is ok if and only if you understand what it is doing and why and how ( or in other words if you can do it command line ).
