RE: RTFM replies

For me as a newbie at one point in various lists, I've looked at the list's FAQ (among other places) before posting. Having been on this list for the past 4 list servers or so, I haven't bothered looking for one recently, but a quick search following the link at the bottom of every post didn't reveal one. Perhaps one could be added, if only as a pointer to orafaq.com or tahiti.oracle.com or something?

Also, despite the vast differences in the list members, I do think there is much to be said for posters, both newbie and guru alike, to follow resonable guidelines. Despite some of the negative connotations to it's intended audience ("Below-the-line" for those who have gone thru accountability training), I think
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html is an excellent resource for all posters of this and any other "professional" list.

My abbreviated $.02,
Rich

I am receiving 65 messages per day, very few interesting ones among them. Most of
these messages are sheer clutter, usually saying things like "here is my query, why
is it slow". The net result is the fact that this list is becoming less and less
