[Quoted] [Quoted] I very much doubt that you are the person who used to post here under that name. If you were you would know that this is not a "Google group" but a Usenet group, which can continue to exist no matter what Google [Quoted] does. You would also know that Google not only provides a (not the only) current interface, but is also the custodian of the archive of this and many many other Usenet groups going back many years, so that it is possible to find things from the past.

[Quoted] Who cares about old versions of Oracle, you may say, but there will certainly be some things still of interest, and when you consider all Usenet groups there is in fact an important historical archive. (Sometimes Google themselves seem to have forgotten this).

[Quoted] So, whoever you are, what is your reason for these posts?
