Re: SPAM DB has been released
It's glad to me to hear about new free contributions to open source community FOR FREE. Specially if I can use them in production systems (using informix). But, how can I know the existence of such thing? Should I ask every month to this group (to get an answer)? My english is poor and I can't catch why is all this anger on this post. But you make me recall Right Reverend Colin James III, (Kook of the Month, January 1996). Are you trying to nominate for this? (What is a Kook? is it something noble?) Byte byte!

It is, as I understand it, perfectly acceptable to make such postings in the Informix usenet group. It is definitely not acceptable in the Oracle groups where a specific group has been set aside for vendor announcements. -- Daniel Morgan http://www.outreach.washington.edu/ext/certificates/oad/oad_crs.asp http://www.outreach.washington.edu/ext/certificates/aoa/aoa_crs.asp damorgan@x.washington.edu (replace 'x' with a 'u' to reply)

MARKED FOR POOP Your premise suggests that you run these groups. You do not run this group or any group. Your status has been downgraded to dirt. Please change you diaper as soon as possible. -IPP- "Daniel Morgan" <damorgan@x.washington.edu> wrote in message news:1077824175.492016@yasure... > Mario Canto wrote: > > > It's glad to me to hear about new free contributions to open source community > > FOR FREE.
