Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Great idea for weekly "obligatory"
How about all the people who do want to participate, respond to Juan. I'll
start: I would like to be involved.
How about all the people who do not want to participate, stop saying why it's such a bad idea. Just don't be involved. Just skip the posts that say "Weekly Tips" on them.
Did you know that the first medical doctor who had the great idea that doctors should wash their hands between treating infected patients received pretty much the same reaction? To him, it was worth a try.
To me, this is worth a try.

afraid
Carl-Jan,
Given your recent post about the backup debacle, and the things I learned from it, and the fact that it read better than a suspense novel (I was on the edge of my seat), I'm surprised at your negative reaction to this idea. I implemented a similar idea at a former large employer, a "Tips, Tricks and Traps" kind of thing. Very useful. The "weekly" part just gives us a soft deadline to get it done.
My suggestion: let's all try it for four weeks with a positive attitude. Maybe we'll see fewer subject lines that say
"Subject: URGENT: HELP ME NOW OR I'LL LOSE MY JOB, PLEEEEEZE!!!"
because people will learn ahead of time.
I have to admit I like this list much better than the LazyDBA list. It's just better. I'm surprised at the reaction. Let's give it a short try.
I say let Juan start it out and tell how it will work, and go. Your backup story could count as the first real good trap to avoid.
Thanks,
Mike
