		I must admit that I've been feeling that the OOW mails have
been getting
		numerous but perhaps it's just sour grapes because I'm not
able to go
		this year.   However, I've enjoyed reading them.  Makes me
feel like I
		can participate even while I'm here in Minneapolis on call

24 hours a day.

                I think most Oracle DBAs would admit that it can be a demanding, stressful,

                long-hours, and often-thankless job. It's easy for me to forgive people for

                getting excited about taking a break from all the work and getting away

                to a different, and often exciting location. The chance to meet seldomseen

                 colleagues and partake of all the excellent sessions, papers, food,

                etc. is something we really look forward to. Plus, I personally enjoy getting

                some insight into the personalities of the professionals that respond so

                frequently and give of their time and experience to help their colleagues.

                It makes them seem more human.

                Given that this is an international Oracle-sponsored event, I think that

                mail on OOW is on-topic. If you're tired of seeing this subject line, just

                hit the old delete button.
