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

Lately, it seems that the "Unbreakable" portions of Oracle9i have broken. We have encountered numerous problems with Oracle's web site, both OTN and any generic Oracle information. I did find out that Oracle upgraded to a new version of the Portal Software, causing much of their content to either disappear or become inaccessible.

It is unfortunate, but something we as users must live with until Oracle recognizes that changes to their software and their web site affect more than just employees.

Thank You

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



Why do a large number of postings refer to "MetaLink" as "MetaStink" (or "fetidstink") ?
The only problem I have with MetaLink is that patch downloads fail mid-way [yes, this is
a "stink" problem particularly when I have downtime on the server but don't have a patch ready !].

Let's be gracious and use the proper name "MetaLink".

[yeah, Larry could be "God Larry" or "King Larry"].

Comments / brickbats [/boquets] anyone ?
