Jared,
I wholeheartedly agree that this forum is invaluable for its
technical focus and intend to promote and support it as
such. Perhaps there have been a few too many Off Topic
postings lately. However, as wonderful and multi-faceted as
the Oracle RDBMS and its inherent challenges may be,
sometimes a little "horse-play" helps solidify our
"community" as well.
Actually, it seems to me that most everyone who's made OT
postings has more than offset that with purely technical
ones. My personal posting ratio is about 4 OT to 13
Technical over the past couple of weeks.
Heck, with our stock portfolios in the tank, reduced Net
Worth, layoffs everywhere, and the most miserable pollen
season in Austin that I can remember, we need a bit of fun!
Anyway, I'll wipe the silly grin off my face, tuck my shirt
back in, sit down, stop passing notes, and get back to work.
But it's been a blast!
Jack

Subject line got your attention didn't it?
Some may recognize that line from a Bill Cosby routine.
I thought it might be an attention grabber.
-- the real purpose of this post
Lest we all forget the purpose of the this forum
and others like it, I am posting some comments
that were sent to me.
There is no ulterior motive behind this, i.e. the
recent spate of off-topic posts.
I merely wanted to remind everyone that this list is
an educational resource, and how important this
community is to many folks that run into problems
they don't know how to handle.
Thanks,
Jared
