Denham, as an experiment, just try asking a simpler question.  :)

Seriously, the questions that I have seen go without answer
are out of the mainstream (for a DBA, which this list seems
to consist of) and go unanswered simply because no one here
has the answer.

I see that you asked about directly repairing a data block
marked corrupt.  There were 2 replies, which may or may not
have been helpful.  This is really a support question anyway.

Keep in mind that there are people on this list that doubtless
know how to do this particular task, but are likely bound either
by employment contracts(Oracle) or NDA's (with Oracle) that
prevent them from telling you how to do it.  This is a rather
low level task you were asking about.  

Others may simply ignore it as it is safer for them to do so
than hand out advice for using a sector editor, figuring that
you really should call support.

Your question on auditing has gone unanswered, but to be fair,
it hasn't even been 24 hours yet.  It is a rather unusual question,
so it seems likely that if it remains unanswered, that no one here 
has experienced that issue.

I'm sure there are enough ego's here such that any question 
will be answered provided the reader has any idea what you're
talking about.

Jared and others,

Thanks for the answer.
Hmm.. I have never considered myself much more than a newbie or even
moderately skilled in Oracle. The thought that I would be asking
something that someone has not experienced ever, really never occurred
to me:-O
I have always been of the impression that anything I could experience
may have / *must* have been experienced, a number of times by at least
someone on this list. It really did not occur to me that yours (and the
other folks) above explanation could be a possibility. :-)

I'll keep your first statement in mind next time:-)

Many Thanks
Denham
