Ironically, I don't participate in oracle-l because it leads directly to spam in whatever email is posted from. I don't think it is completely ruined in spite of Steve, it's worth lurking for nuggets like the recent post explaining TAF. Difficult to read as a digest though, stupid email reply conventions.
My C$erve web site is going away, so I moved my personal web pages to members.cox.net. Now I'm discovering that much nannyware seems to think "members" and "cox" refer to sexually explicit or adult themes by default. I guess if others have the same experience their members won't be very large. The net result will be shrinkage of cox. I sent an inquiry to support asking if they might have some other alias, but they seem to be leaving me hanging.
Fortunately I have other providers.
