Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> off topic list
send an email to oracle-l-ot-subscribe_at_yahoogroups.com
be prepared for a LOT of chatter.... it's being used more like a chat room than a bulletin board/email list. We started it on Sept 13 last year and are over 20,000 messages already.
on the other hand, the chatter tends to be either funny, informative or thought-provoking. And in general, a short break from the insanity of work.
the only rules on the list are: 1) no spewing hatred, unless it is hate mail directed towards a large purple dinosaur named Barney. 2) no Oracle discussions, that's what this list is for.
Joe owns it, I moderate it, and we tend to let people say what they want. Discussions have shown that people have very diverse opinions on a number of subjects, but the discussion remains polite.
