Wow. Do you actually believe a procurement manager knows what Usenet is? And reads it to make a buying decision? And you think my name has an impact on their decision? Informix probably doesn't need customers that dumb... >I think this 'Clown' is making it just a little bit harder for people >to >take this newsgroup seriously, don't you? I get enough off line thanks from the people I help with problems to know whether or not I make a difference. In fact, I even have people mail me directly and bypass the group. So I know when to be serious and when not to. This isn't an advocacy group. This is a forum for sharing problems and getting answers. So why don't you go play in the Oracle advocacy group and leave us to get on with our work? (Hint: when was the last time you saw me trolling in the c.d.o.* hierarchy?) If you have an Informix problem, ask. If you don't, what are you doing here? Boosting your self-esteem by wasting everybody else's time? Get a life. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
