This makes me mad
Not a technical problem at all: a poster complained that IBM's database magazine site served DB2 9 advertising on an Informix article page (about continuous log restores), while DB2 pages carried no Informix ads, which he saw as IBM neglecting to promote Informix. The replies were purely jokes about click-through affiliate payments, bailouts and private jets. No technical issue is diagnosed and no resolution is recorded; the thread offers nothing beyond banter.

I go to http://www.ibmdatabasemag.com/informixdbadmin/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212100 269 to read Sanjit's article on continuous log restores (linked from obnoxio's blog) and an advertisment opens on the page for DB2 9. Just for kicks I go check out the DB2 link to see if an Informix ad comes up... uh no. Just sayin' .... Mike
