I seem to recall some past bad blood between you and Tim Hall. No I don't understand the beginning or middle just that you have decided to take your website offline.

It's not exactly the first or second or third time ( fourth maybe who knows ? ) that all the content was removed from a website that you operated. Usually the reason in the past was new software.

There seems to be a different reason this time based on what you are saying.

I think the idea of an "oracle community" is very much oversold. Just lots of people trying to stay employed basically. Look at the self promotion that many of the cdos posters engage in. Received on Wed Jan 16 2008 - 17:36:30 CST
