But, I'll admit to laziness. I have || enough on my hands just trying to read all the Oracle-NT || documentation. :) || || Anyway, why wait for IOUG to start a ORACLE-NT-L? || || As far as technical issues goes, it could easily be done on yahoo || groups (formerly "egroups.com") or some similar "free" site (e.g., || http://www.escribe.com/ ???), or fatcity (which I know you feel is a || bit unreliable/unperformant). I know that Jared felt uncomfortable || with the old "eGroups.com" TOS (terms of service), and after I read || them, I also felt that some of the vague/legalistic terminology || sounded like it might be "funny". For instance, pat of the || eGroups.com TOS sounds like it is saying that they have rights to || claim ownership of the content of all material posted, etc. I don't || know if Jared had other concerns than privacy ones. || || As far as the "Culture" of any Oracle-NT-L, I can see the possible || advantage of having some "weighty" expert personalities || involved. The || "culture", and therefore utility, of an email list "community" is || almost always enhanced when the list is created with a good core || group of people that can provide a sense of leadership, purpose and || vision. || || regards, || ep || || || On 9 May 2001, at 23:40, Paul Drake wrote: || || Date sent: Wed, 09 May 2001 23:40:20 -0800 || To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L || <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> || || > I have to say that the newsgroup || comp.oracle.databases.server is much || > more NT Friendly. || > (IOUG: Did anything happen from IOUG concerning the || ORACLE-NT-L mailing || > list?) || > Not just Jonathan Lewis, but Sybrand Baker, Howard Rodgers, Ricky || > Sanchez put out some pretty good stuff. || || ... || || || -- || Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com || -- || Author: Eric D.
