Mladen - I can think of far more reasons why an employee would NOT participate on a public list than reasons why they would.
5. You can easily become the target of wrath for anyone that hates Oracle. 4. The slightest misstatement on your part could easily be interpreted as a lack of knowledge. 3. Any of your statements could be taken as official Oracle statements. 2. Postings from this list do get circulated through Oracle. Some V.P. you never met may decide he doesn't like you. 1. You could easily get fired. That said, how do you know that more Oracle employees don't participate? Easy enough to get a Hotmail account and participate quietly. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 3:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I just received "Effective Oracle by Design" and reading the foreword I noticed not only the familiar names of Connor McDonald, Anjo Kolk and Mogens Norgaard, but I also saw this list mentioned explicitly. Is Mr. Tom Kyte a member of this list? Does he read it? Does his staff read it? I was wandering why so few oracle employees (to my knowledge, Vladimir is the only one) takes part in this list.
