For me as a newbie at one point in various lists, I've looked at the
list's FAQ (among other places) before posting.  Having been on this
list for the past 4 list servers or so, I haven't bothered looking for
one recently, but a quick search following the link at the bottom of
every post didn't reveal one.  Perhaps one could be added, if only as a
pointer to orafaq.com or tahiti.oracle.com or something?

Also, despite the vast differences in the list members, I do think there
is much to be said for posters, both newbie and guru alike, to follow
resonable guidelines.  Despite some of the negative connotations to it's
intended audience ("Below-the-line" for those who have gone thru
accountability training), I think
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html is an excellent
resource for all posters of this and any other "professional" list.


My abbreviated $.02,
Rich

I am receiving 65 messages per day, very few interesting ones among
them. Most of
these messages are sheer clutter, usually saying things like "here is my
query, why 
is it slow". The net result is the fact that this list is becoming less
and less
