Daniel,

[Quoted] The reply that I received earlier from Malcom seemed, to me, eminently reasonable and understandable. I now see the distinction between "discussing" a tool and "advertising" one. I should have discerned that distinction from the earlier post by Ed Prochak. Guess I didn't read it carefully enough.

I did, however, reread the charter as you suggested, and the product that was the focus of the launch of this thread is indeed specifically "INcluded".

Quote from charter:
This group includes but is not limited to articles discussing applications and topics such as the following:

  a.. Oracle Developer 2000 (Forms, Reports, Graphics)   b.. Designer 2000
/EndQuote

Clearly, discussion of that tool, as Malcom suggested, falls within the context of that charter.
