I think the primary purpose that certain of our frequent posters point this out is to allow them to send out even more url's out that correspond to their favorite oracle user groups. Many of us belong to local oracle user groups luckily few of us attempt to use "drive by" spamming over to the local user groups website.

Case in point is the 1st reply noted in this thread.

I don't think that being helpful is the motivation for that kind of behavior.

I would guess the a large number of new people posting in cdos use google groups making your point about the charter even more humorous. Received on Wed Nov 29 2006 - 11:45:47 CST
