Just another viewpoint:

The Oracle server newsgroup does have some very knowledgeable contributors -
eg Jonathan Lewis and members of Oracle's own ODBC group amongst probably
others.

Also, the lazydba list which (if I remember correctly) started this
comparison is distinct to the newsgroup.

Yes, the oracle server newsgroup doesn't come close to this list.

        I agree,
        This list is like a community with some very knowledgeable and
colorful 
        characters.  I enjoy the fact that we can discuss very technical
items 
        with humor and comraderie.  It beats stale tech-only academic
discourse 
        by a long shot.
