Mogens, I must respectfully disagree and agree with you. RTFM/CTNOM - Good! When it is something simple, like "How do I create a table?" or "Is the RBO supported in 10g?", the response is appropriate. Both of these questions are easily answered in the available forums. I don't think it is too much to ask that the denizens of the list put forth a little effort to answer their own question before asking the list. If you put out the effort to learn X, you will probably also learn Y and Z at the same time. RTFM/CTNOM - Bad! Trying to find every answer in the doc or on Metalink is not possible. Sometimes it is there, but not where you expect to find it (my recent issue) or is given fewer words than it deserves (also my recent issue). There are also bugs, personal experiences, specific knowledge that we all have that cannot be found in doc, books or metalink. Okay, now I need to stop straddling the fence before I get splinters you-know-where....
