RE: Why "metastink" {or "fetidstink" !} ??

Well soon you'll have to make up a new term because Oracle is re-writing it and renaming it to something like eSupport and TAR's will become SR's. Supposedly Oracle is going to use their own CRM product for support. I asked if we the end users will be able to rate the answers and the analysts like other CRM software does and was told that that feature wasn't planned until the second release of the product. :-( Still it's comforting to know that we will be able to rate or berate the support analysts (not Anita) in about 1-2+ years.
