My very first post to oracle-l:  our company had
support through our software vendor; we could not call
Oracle directly.  This was waaaay before documentation
could be found on-line.  I had not one single manual,
and was tossed into a dba position overnight.

I asked the list what dual was.  (I was a VMS'er.  I
thought it was dua1, like the disk drive.)

Bambi answered my question thoroughly, and without
humiliating me.  Bambi was always fun, but she never
used her humor to humiliate folks.  

We have some very talented people on this list, and
they will frequently tackle tough questions.  I try to
take the easy ones when I can, and I'm proud to do it.

I'll be so disappointed if this list opts for not
helping newbies.  I thought we were all bigger than
that.
