To turn around and keep repeating that they're "holding your data hostage" is disingenuous at best. Nobody is holding your data hostage. You voluntarily put it on an operating system that explicitly states doesn't offer support from the parent company. Nobody from Oracle is going to show up with a patch for you on this mailing list because none of the Oracle employees want to lose their job and subsequently be subjected to a lawsuit. If that's what you're planning on waiting for, I'd suggest you take a new approach. Sorry to be a downer, but that's reality. --Tim
