Just a thought.  I would guess that most of the readers of this group are
really only familar with one database.  If this is true then any postings
to the merit or de-merits of their systems are biased (sp).  The same goes
for employees of their products.

I don't see how this group can get beyond the lofty talk that we see.  If
a user has a problem with a certain database it is a problem that must be
easy to describe and therefore easy to fix.  If it a problem that's a real 
head scratcher then there is too much info that the group must have in order 
to give any help.

I know that when I have a problem that I will find a work-around faster than
I could post to the net.
