I say we all go to Steve's house and play a game of "Survivor" to see who the most powerfull DBA in the world is. I'm willing to bet certain list opts are the first voted off. - E

Steve,

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD have mercy!

If the "DBA union" develops in the same unenlightened, dysfunctional context (large amounts of pointless/unproductive tribalistic squabbling & bickering over trivial b.s., etc.) as have events on hazyDBA, I'm sure it will be a huge success (sarcasm intended).

Even in the non-profit sector, people are expected to understand the dynamics of managing the "organizational culture" of a group. There has been a lot of research done on "computer mediated communication",
"communities of practice", the inherent capacity of people to become
"self-learning/self-aware" outside the realms of narrow minded, self-
serving corporate/bureaucratic "expertise" and so forth. As far as I can tell, hazyDBA doesn't seem to be organized around any coherent conciousness paradigm (business model) of that sort. As such, any attempt to push the "organizational" boundries of hazyDBA's culture any further doesn't seem very promising.

regards,
ep

btw, the direct link doesn't work. You have to start at the main page: http://www.lazydba.com, and click on the "discuss" link undre the following heading (on the left just under the green banner):

       "Followup to last
        week's forum
        This is a followup
        to last weeks forum.
        Discuss"

Apparently "last week's forum" refers to the next heading down which is titled:

       "Is Henry awful 
        or not?
        This section is to
        discuss the recent
        events on the list. Is
        Henry Awful or
        not?"
