Other than you and maybe one other person, I have not seen any posts to the contrary. The list of those desiring to have ads posted in Marketplace and not in the other three oracle groups is much longer than what you post above. Perhaps we are just more frequent in responding to the off topic stuff, but certainly not alone.

So how about posting some positve responses on threads instead of rants?
try heeding your own advice.

yes this is usenet. So since this is an unmoderated group, I cannot stop OFF TOPIC posts EXCEPT to point them out and hope the poster can be persuaded. That is what I've done.

 You have demonstrated that you do no wish to learn or follow the norms of these groups. That is your choice. I would suggest you try making positive contributions but you have chosen a different path. You prefer to annoy and harrass potential customers. I hope you are happy with your choice.
