I guess you'd say that this is one scientist who is so fixated on a
blade of grass that he's missing the beauty of the forest around him. A
true shame.

Poor Jared had no way to know... I'm still watching in horror at the
destroyed image of someone who I previously considered a scientist.
About to listen to questions. I'd regret asking one...

Jared,
I am rarely critical of you and things that you bring to the list,
but in this case I must make an exception. What a flat out, biased,
pushy sales pitch this was. I left after about half a dozen slides &
most of the information was valid only is you took his lean on it. To
boot some of the information was down right false. And I was looking
forward to a good discussion on the real meat of the webminar, bother!!!
Sorry about that, it wasn't what I expected either, and had no
way of knowing ahead of time.
The numbers presented for RDBMS overhead seem hugely overstated to me.
