On behalf of the community, we accept - and appreciate - your apology.

The posting guidelines for the comp.databases.oracle.* groups are found at the http://orafaq.com As a summary for the entire heirarchy:

We request any announcements, advertisements, job offers, resumes and the like (things that generally do not need a response but are important to the community) should go to comp.database.oracle.marketplace

Other than that,

- server information and assistance requests go to cdo.server;
- any Oracle tools to cdo.tools;
- all else to cdo.misc;
- cdo itself is consider deas and is not carried by all news servers.

Many groups are established by a charter which defines the guideline and intent of the group. An iSearch (eg: Google) for the term 'Charter' and the group name should point to the charter.
