Once more you fellas distort everything in sight. I don't give a hoot if you or anybody else picks a bone with Larry. His problem, he's the one of the multi-billion $$$ income. Don't give a rat's ass about him.

But when the thread involves total misinformation about Oracle's products and their users just for the sake of following what "mamma IBM says is the truth" *AND* it gets x-posted here, don't be surprised if you get back some flack. You dish it out, you cop it back. No one has given you or any other IBMer a certificate of competence or immunity against all others. Got it?

Having said that, you should realise once and for all that this is not a personal thing. I have this exactly same attitude towards ORACLE, M$, Sybase and anyone else that follows blindly what is for all intents and purposes nothing more than a below average marketing campaign. Without the slightest technical merit or advantage to this industry.
