Re: whats going on

Hi George,

I've only be involved in this NG for a short period of time and I admit to sometimes being hesitant to contribute, being concerned about being roasted for any errors in my response. But then I think, bugger it, if someone picks a hole in something I say then it helps my learning process and providing it's constructive, it's all kinda worth it. Also, after teaching Oracle for over 5 years one grows a think skin anyway.

So George my recommendation, go for it !!

Regards

Richard
