Try learning that you are the one making up the rules. They are written down. check the FAQs.
 http://www.faqs.org/faqs/
and this about netiquette
 http://www.psg.com/emily.html

 They are also written in the MANY threads like this in these groups, so look back in GOOGLE and you'll find this pattern: 1. A spammer, like you posts an off topic message. Often this is the first post from this person in these groups 2. one or two regulars in the group reply, mentioning .marketplace as the appropriate place.
3. the spammer gets all hot and bothered that they have the RIGHT to post anywhere
4. more regulars reply, most pointing out that no this is still not appropriate.
5. steps 3 and 4 repeat until the spammer either learns his lesson (yes some do) or leaves.

The length of these threads is up to you.

go back and read the charters of these groups. Just do a search in google, restricted to the comp.database.oracle.* hierarchy for the word charter.

or do I have to email them to you????

marketplace is where your post belongs.

And a final comment: have you considered the possibility that your continued need for beta testers is directly related to the bad will you create by posting off topic? Received on Wed Jun 23 2004 - 15:10:56 CEST
