the weirdest SR I've ever had ended when it closed and was marked "customer
abandoned."  Like it was my fault they didn't want to pursue the issue.
I was told early on that the problem I'd reported was known, but dev had
put it on a "back burner."  I was told this on the phone.  You always know
you are off the record when they call you.  Not important that I was getting 
a RMAN-06107.  Then why throw it at me?  After the SR was "customer abandoned" 
I 
gave up, so I guess they were right.  Well, they do have an oracle.

Not long after the weird SR, I had the best SR experience.  The person handling 
the
case was responding to me several times a day and answering questions before
I asked them.  This was at sev 4.  I was in awe.

Seems a crap shoot, who you get makes all the diff.

Just to throw salt into the wound, I recently reported a bug and within
an hour one of the core developers had personally emailed me a patch he wrote.
The product in this case was postgresql.  Priceless!
