Ok, some of you may recall that a few months ago I completly banned off topic posts from this list. If it was not of a technical nature, and not related to Oracle you couldn't post it.
Please stop this thread now, so I don't have ban off topic *again*, and spend too much of my time monitoring this list. Thank You.
