I'd rather educate the poor misguided folks that cross post than continue to weed through stuff I'm not interested in. I'm now killing over 50% of the messages in this group based solely on subject heading.

Ye job posters, take note: You want me, call me on the phone. Don't post a message in the group -- I delete em faster than any other message.

I want the DBA stuff. Forget about FORMS, REPORT, PRO*C. My company doesn't use them.

I vote for a split and then educate those that abuse the system.
