Morning Mark,

first up, your example of Webby stuff with PL/SQL makes very interesting reading. Thanks.

Next, yes I saw the post about 'misuse' and charters. Sounds like a totally useless waste of your time to me (assuming you get voted in) for the one main reason that everyone here is human (allegedly) and as such, certain rules don't always apply :o)

You'll still find spam postings here instead of on c.d.o.marketplace etc, because the people doing it (a) don't read the rules (b) if the have then they don't apply them and (c) they keep coming back time after time. Don't forget where you heard it first. (And, if I can start a sentence with 'and', the worst offenders are usually the DB"/MS SQL trolls - who don't give a toss about rules and regs, after all, it isn't their new group. Sad but true!)

Now, as for Scotsmen and football/rugby - I agree that they are not strictly Oracle related, but in the many years I've been here we have had many conversations that 'degenerated' into other things - they always will. Check out the archives on Google and see for yourself - Pink Floyd, David Bowie (Hi Richard), Scotsmen, Weather, Football, Rugby, Cricket, and other rants and raves. (Ok, I lied about 'weather' !)

It will continue to happen because it doesn't usually take up much bandwidth.

We may got off topic a bit from time to time, but we are civil.

Cheers,
Norm.

PS. Is there any mention of making sure that one snips one's posts appropriately in the rules :o) <insert evil laugh here>
