Be nice on this message board

Re: my original post on August 10th titled(and admittedly out of place:)):Re: Setting Up a MySQL Database for a client question

Guys, try to be nice to each other out there. I posted a question on this board, got a nice answer or two, then you run into..........you know....."one in every crowd". I think this guy was one of those, you know, "picked on" types in life. What do you think??

So, walking into a user's group meeting and taking the podium and proceeding to ask everybody in the room about an unrelated topic isn't rude?

The fact that before you asked the question you knew that it wasn't appropriate is what makes the damn question rude. Asking an inappropriate question isn't always rude, but asking one when you are totally aware it is inappropriate is rude.

Well, then go to google, buy a book, subscribe to an appropriate newsgroup or mailing list...

The fact that you are asking this MySQL question in an Oracle newsgroup says very little about either your desire or ability to learn, anything.
