Hmmmm, good points. Yes, somewhat frustrated with the list as well. It feels like beginner's bog in there, sometimes. Don't know I'd say it's Steve: been following it for years and it's been a gradual decline, not just his stewardship. Having said that, I also got suspended for a week for missing a reply he sent me on an email address I use only as spam bait. That, I considered at the time, a bit over the top. But everyone is entitled to a bad call, so I let it go.

So, here and the blogs is the good oil now, eh? :-) Ah well, might have to subscribe to this group once again: I got tired of the constant trolls by ignorant arseholes sponsored by Oracle consulting and other organisations.

Maybe Jgar has got it right: form a moderated newsgroup in google, throw away anyone who trolls or gets abusive and make it noted that beginner's questions are not welcome.

Then we got the problem of defining "beginner". Ah well, challenges!...

Which reminds me: came upon your mail to review an article from last year! I must apologize profusely and publicly for completely forgetting it. In my humble defence, all I can say is that at the time I was under a great stress workwise, which ultimately made me change jobs. It's been a roller-coaster ride since then. Which has taken away most of my free time!

But please rest assured my slack behaviour is not a result of a snub on you: it's simply just plain old lack of time. Received on Thu Apr 05 2007 - 19:06:27 CDT
