Hi Daniel,
I must admit that my writing style is greatly influenced by yours. Yes, you answered the question that was asked, but I think that you also added extra information when you said that "iAS issues are generally posted here". A search of the newsgroup archives on Google, shows 470 posts (for the keyword "iAS") as opposed to nearly 5,800 on Oracle's J2EE forum, and nearly 1,100 posts on the 9iAS General forum (since the start of this year, alone). That gives me the impression that I have, indeed, corrected you (but if you showed some appreciation, then forgive me, I must have missed it).

The fact that you added extra information (above merely answering the question asked), together with the responses of other people who replied to Den's question, implies that you also had the impression that Den was looking for some kind of forum related to 9iAS -- but not necessarily Usenet.

Like I said, judging from your usual writing style, I assumed that you wouldn't be so offended from a remark whose intention was purely humorous. Obviously your feelings are much more delicate than I estimated -- and I apologize. Like Pavlov's dogs, I have learned my lesson and I shall be more wary of my writing style in future correspondences with Usenet.

Thanks,
