I think my point is, and has been, the announcement is off topic for at least the oracle.misc group, because it is a product announcement. Such announcements might fit in the db2 and sybase groups. I don't read those groups much. But seems to not belong here in oracle.misc Whether he is or is not making money from it is, IMO, irrelevant. Have a great day. Ed
