There are very few people responding, and it would be interesting to display a hit summary of respondents on someone's web page, .......Jonathan? BTW a hit summary of just readers, the silent majority, would be interesting as well.

My belief about why there are so few, is the quality of response that one gets from this newsgroup. The quality is so high, the answers are usually very concise and focused. It is a brave person that submits an answer to this group with so many outstanding authors in attendance; every answer submitted is an invitation for a correction. Just consider the 'myths thread'; that must opened the eyes of quite a few, it has certainly opened mine.

I have been a DBA for many years now, I have learned the trade from Oracle training, books, CBT's and big-time this newsgroup, and I know I will continue to learn from this newsgroup.
My contributions are virtually non-existent; mainly because I don't feel the need to contribute given the present company.
