Geez, get a grip. You should've counted on the predictable, endless sarcasm that came as a reply to something that would've been pretty big news, NOT on only 1 or 2 people pointing out that you're wrong. Most critics here think that they will be the first or only person to reply, or believe their sarcasm needs to be heard.
But this goes as a lesson to everyone - double-check, triple-check, and so on, before you blurt out something that you heard, even it was from reliable sources. And if those reliable sources turn out to be wrong, you'd better begin wondering whether you should listen to them again. This also applies to the people who just discredited his story without taking the time to do their own quick research on it, as I'm sure many of you did. Finally, to everyone who reads this: with such a post, there WILL be someone out there that responds to it, and you should only need to add your response after time goes by and either nobody responds to it, or a few people respond with the wrong answer. Otherwise, you're just going to fill up the list with sarcastic posts that do nothing but tick off the recipient. - J P.S. Try not to curse; it's a bad habit. -----Original Message----- From: MadProfessor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 8:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Charles McGrotty' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Impact of Free ORACLE Ok, Ok, KIDZ, I get it. I had just heard from a rather reliable pair of sources that the oracle system was free, so I thought I'd ask you cats if you had any thoughts.... Now I get endless buillshit sarcasm, instead of the simple 1 or 2 people pointing out that I'm wrong. The rest of you guys who thought you were being original by giving me shit as if we were on slashdot need to realize there's no call for all that. I was trying to find out more about how everyone felt. I still run MySQL on my servers, and while I was interested in how Oracle works, I wasn't about to switch, so don't feel like you need to be questioning my geekiness, nor my interest in free software or open source. End fucking rant, have a nice day.
