I got one too. It appears they are harvesting the list. Perhaps some "polite" feedback would be appropriate??

Dear Oracle User,

I'm writing from Antics Online, an independent marketing agency seeking to understand the high-end database marketspace. We are sending out a one-time email questionnaire to a select group of Oracle users to hear about their experiences.

If you have a few minutes and can answer the questions below, I would be most grateful. Simply reply to this email with the answers included. All of your answers will be kept strictly confidential. If you would like, we will happily send you a copy of our findings once they are complete.

If you aren't interested in responding, please delete this email.

In either case, please know that we respect your time and your privacy and will not contact you again unless you let us know that it is okay.

Thanks very much for your invaluable insights,

Susan Thomas

ELLISON COMMENT

At the Oracle AppsWorld conference in April, Larry Ellison said, "We?re trying to establish a relationship with our customers where we not only take the time to help you understand how to use our software but how you?re running your business."

Do you believe that Oracle will do what Ellison says? Why or why not?

How would you like Oracle to help you understand how to run your business?

What else would you like Oracle to help with?

2) ORACLE EXPERIENCE What pieces of Oracle software does your company use?

Is your experience with this software mostly positive or mostly negative? Why?

Do you plan to upgrade any of your Oracle software in the next year?

Are you considering competitors? Which ones? Why?

3) A LITTLE ABOUT YOU What is your role in the company?

How long have you been there?

And finally, would you be willing to talk with us on the phone for about 15 minutes to share more of your ideas? If so, please give us your phone number and a good time to call (let me stress that we are only interested in doing research and will respect your privacy and desire not to be contacted beyond this study).

Would you like to receive a copy of our findings via email?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.
