Well put.  Unfortunately, it's one of the facts of the hype life we life in in 
IT.

  Friends,

  I recently wrote this message, but then sent it just to myself in order 
  not to offend anyone or perhaps be misunderstood.

  But after 14 days with this message in my inbox, I have decided to go 
  ahead and send it to the list:
  =================================================================

  It's becoming a habit to churn out books about topics that cannot 
  possibly have been explored yet. And certainly not in any scientific manner.

  How on Earth can we have books out with the word "10g" on the cover when
  10g just came out, and we all know, that getting something as basic as
  OEM (and certainly AWR/ADDM/ASH/Advisor services)  to work during the
  Beta phase has been damned near impossible? If that is the case, how can
  the books talk in detail about how fantastic these features are?
  Sandra's last name is...
