Welcome to the "middle-of-the-night" cuppa syndrome.
Isn't it nice to be "redundant" and "unnecessary"?

He's been sick and he's also RAC development now.
Which probably means he's flat out trying to manage
all the "deliberate mistakes".

Yeah but it'll take a heck of a long time and meanwhile they'll just
blame dbas for the lack of support of their own product.  After all,
dbas are just a redundant nuisance and have always been an easy
target, no?

they have that.  What they need is adequate feedback to those
that matter.  About time "user groups" around the world pulled
their  "politically correct" heads off their rear orifices and
started asking serious questions. Because if they don't, they'll
be replaced by something else that better represents users.
