| Morning Mark,
|
| first up, your example of Webby stuff with PL/SQL makes very interesting
| reading. Thanks.
|
| Next, yes I saw the post about 'misuse' and charters. Sounds like a
| totally useless waste of your time to me (assuming you get voted in) for
| the one main reason that everyone here is human (allegedly) and as such,
| certain rules don't always apply :o)
|
| You'll still find spam postings here instead of on c.d.o.marketplace etc,
| because the people doing it (a) don't read the rules (b) if the have then
| they don't apply them and (c) they keep coming back time after time. Don't
| forget where you heard it first. (And, if I can start a sentence with
| 'and', the worst offenders are usually the DB"/MS SQL trolls - who don't
| give a toss about rules and regs, after all, it isn't their new group. Sad
| but true!)
|
| Now, as for Scotsmen and football/rugby - I agree that they are not
| strictly Oracle related, but in the many years I've been here we have had
| many conversations that 'degenerated' into other things - they always
| will. Check out the archives on Google and see for yourself - Pink Floyd,
| David Bowie (Hi Richard), Scotsmen, Weather, Football, Rugby, Cricket, and
| other rants and raves. (Ok, I lied about 'weather' !)
|
| It will continue to happen because it doesn't usually take up much
| bandwidth.
