Hey, actually experts-exchange works well for a lot of questions :) You just have to scroll down past the ads, to get to the answers. Some of them are really useful, though maybe not so much for Oracle.

I think it is slowly getting out how to move up in rankings.

Specially those pointing to sites that 'answer' questions... magically JUST the question you have, and they charge you to see the answer. I hate those.
