One of the most famous thread in OTN is about inability to change e-mail already for at least a few years http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=332623&tstart=0 The most funny thing is that some days ago I received OTN tech blast with following text "Five Million and Counting I can hardly believe it, but OTN membership passed the 5-million benchmark in 2006. But why should you care? [some text skipped] Justin Kestelyn, Editor-in-Chief, OTN" So probably inability to change e-mails is just another opportunity to raise the membership numbers? :))) Gints Plivna http://www.gplivna.eu 2007/1/12, Charles Schultz <sacrophyte@xxxxxxxxx>: > Agreed.
