Somehow I doubt that this list is difficult to find. Recently I saw a lot of
people asking questions on this list something like where can I find Oracle
docs.

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.

deathmatch

        Ah but is there as much humor there?  Not really  quibbling, I was
on 
        comp.oracle.databases.server for a long time and will be going back
(can you 
        say "she won't be doing ANY work at all now"?)

        but how else can I LEARN??
