Hi Mike...

Read my mail... Here's a quote from it...

"Now, if you want to contribute to the technical content then that's fine... I welcome that... If you want to perform research and post your results, fine... That would also be welcome..."


What I don't want is a 1000 emails telling me I'm not a good lister if I don't participate in this "Weekly Tip"... If you want to do it fine... Just don't try and make this an "obligation" to be on the list...


Actually, I think we are in agreement... Participate if you want to... Don't participate is you don't... That's fine by me and think that's what you're saying also...

Now, I'll stop replying on this subject before Jared gets mad at me...

:-)

1. Open the Tools/Rules Wizard menu. 2. Set a rule to send anything with "Weekly tip" in the subject line to the
trash.


For you, the list won't change at all.

What are you saying, that we shouldn't be "allowed" to put a subject of
"weekly tip" on our submission? That we shouldn't be "allowed" to submit a
tip once a week?

The negativity and control I am seeing here about this amazes me.

Juan...


I've been on this list for several years... The reason I'm on this list is because I like it... The way it is... It's got some good technical content with the occasional humor mixed in... I like the people... I even like Mladen's humor (don't let that go you your head Mladen)... Sometimes the list traffic gets a little out of control but most of the time it's fun and on topic... You seem to want to change the list... To put it bluntly, I like it the way it is... Now, if you want to contribute to the technical content then that's fine... I welcome that... If you want to perform research and post your results, fine... That would also be welcome... Believe it or not, that already happens here... So, why don't you just enjoy the list as it is...

My $0.02 cents...

post, don't post, this is obvious.

I understand there are long periodos dbas are more working that

something interesting.

I don't understand you doubt "maybe some one can start to post junk." in
theory every member in this list has some important knowledge and common
sense to understand what is something interesting and what is not.
And if he don't understand some one of us can tell it to him.
At last, if this is not a good idea, OBVIOUSLY we can AND WE ARE GOING TO

back and stop this idea.
But what can you say this will be junk mail before looking what every one

interesting invetigations.
But your resistance to change or to try new ideas is impressive and based


on


this comments and previous comments I read before in this list this seems
There a few of you who have serious doubts about others members of this
list, because you talk in that way.

My weekly quote posts would be better suited for the list about life,




universe and




everything. My weekly quote is "don't panic and don't generate junk mails
on my favorite mailing list. Always have a towel and The Guide on you."
We're not nice guys. We're the DBA's. You will be assimilated. Resistance




is futile.

The solution is to post with a subject
My weekly quote, if you don't want you  don't read.

But there are several thing, that one can share with others.
For example you take 3 days investeigating full day, something
and then you can share it with others.

I agree with Tanel. And "something really interesting" should be something that either contradicts oracle docs or not covered well enough in oracle docs.

There is a lot of traffic as it is on this list.

IMHO, since this is a mailinglist, one should post here only when asking
questions, answering questions or having something really interesting to
say.

Webpages should be for posting regular investigation results or whatever
hints, so everyone can choose whether to read it or not.

Subject: The weekly quote "obligatory"







What do you think about this idea.

Every one have (only weekly) to put something
This can be something he learned,

Statictics, for example the statics reading a cursor normally in a




database




function and
reading the cursor using bulk.

Something interesting investigated.

This will enrich our knowledge, this will not be obligatory, but
"obligatory".

Do you like the idea or not.?
