Actually, I wrote http://www.dbaoracle.net/readme-cdos.htm for this very reason. I didn't want to be seen as competing with the faq's that were being posted at that time (orafaq and the Lewis faq), so I never made it a repetitive posting. Obviously giving it as a reactive measure hasn't worked so well, I'm open to suggestions. My current view is it doesn't make much difference, newsgroups go through their own kind of life cycle, I'm not going to make much difference in Sybrand's style, I've said what I think about it, I think he is useful to the group, wish he would chill, but I'm glad we can freely say whatever we want here.

I also posted that because it didn't seem to be as easy to find as it should be.

I find it jarring when Tom is rude, I don't think of him that way since he posts so much information so clearly. But I understand, and he's usually quite explicity about why he's PO'd about something. Sybrand posts out-of-context, although his complaints are often right on the money, otherwise I'd flame him as much as anyone.

Agree with that, not so sure I agree with the level of posting going down... see http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-don-know.html maybe the alternatives have gone up, and newbies have increased in volume but gone down in quality.

====================================================================
The charter today is like asking airplane passengers to notice warning signs 
on the side of the road......
People fly in from everywhere (google, news servers, outlook (yuck))
And it's 12 years old, from the time where Oracle products could be devided 
into server, tools and misc.....

And for the non-Dutch-speaking people over here: It's a pitty you can't read 
Sybrands responses in Dutch groups. He's actually very polite in this group!
