RE: comp.oracle.databases.server vs ORACLE-L: deathmatch
Funny, the threads on my MS Outlook at home never show up as threads... I end up with little entries all over the place. Might as well rely on e-mail. The volume on the newsgroup is much higher, but perhaps as a result there is a LOT of junk going through there, a lot of spam. Some of it is offensive, nobody seems to be moderating that newsgroup at all. The listserv doesn't have that problem, the last time someone sent job offers to the members of this list, the sender received phone calls, and a flurry of e-mails to tell him to cease and desist. On the newsgroup I haven't seen it happen. Maybe if the spam was removed from the newsgroup, I would spend more time reading its threads. The threads also seem to cover a broader range of topics than this listserv does. I prefer this list because I do database admin, and although I subscribed to the ODTUG listserv for developers, I like to keep the two areas separate (DBA and development). Once in a while in the evening I access the newsgroup to see what is going on there, but often I end up sifting through hundreds of entries, deleting 80% of them or more. I agree that there are knowledgeable people on the newsgroup as well. I prefer this listserv.

I go back to the newsgroup once every 2 to 6 months, just to see what the topics tend to be there. I don't follow it, because this listserv during the day is enough I think. On the newsgroup the volume is such that I spend over an hour just deleting pieces of threads... that's another problem, my MS Outlook at home doesn't bundle threads, the entries are all broken up into separate entries. A real nuisance. The newsgroup is easy for people to find - a lot of people will head for the newsgroups first when they have a question. To reach this listserv, you almost need to know where to find it first, which means that the people on this list tend to stay for longer periods of time, and people don't dart in and out as much as on the newsgroup.

Paul, I haven't look at newsgroup c.o.d.s. for a long time, basically because I got out of the habit of looking at newsgroups, the messaging formatting and software needed seems a little unnatural (convoluted) compared to email.

Which do you suppose is Oracle's definition for the acronym TAR? Terrain Avoidance Radar?

I'm debugging a dictionary cache explosion problem, and support just informed me that any/all of my questions cannot be answered because they are INTERNAL SECRETS. Yea right; maybe this year, until a smart guy who cares (like Steve Adams or Jonathan Lewis or ) figures them out, or they are published in the next Concepts manual.) So, I am in send me continuous 1 Gigabyte dumps and just shut up and sit on yer hands mode. Up until this, I haven't filed a TAR -- a lie, oxymoron, and hint all wrapped in one (the lie is that you'll get any technical information, the oxymoron is that the acronym implies the word action and the hint is the word request) -- in about a year, and now I remember why.

There are, as we know, a handful MAGICALLY WONDERFUL support people at OWS. You and I both know one in common.
