Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Recent Email from Don Burleson
Don,
I have coped this email to the Oracle-L list. You will note, however that I have not included your original Subject Heading, nor the content. Similarly, I did not copy your previous post to the list, only the points that where relevant to the rest of my note to the list.
You complained that your previous email was private (despite being copied to 2 other people), however the purpose of your email was to point out that I had publicly made comments that could be detrimental to DBAZine.
Since the original comments were made in Oracle-L, any retraction should clearly be in the same forum.
You complained that I chose to make my apology where you would only find out about it second hand.
First: I wasn't apologising to you, I was offering an apology to DBAZine.
Second: you certainly appeared to be a subscriber to the list, so you cannot claim to have got this note second.
Members of the list:
This note is copied to the list as a matter of record because Don's complaints were about material that appeared on this list; and the apology that it prompted was presented to this list.
You may be tempted to respond to this note with opinions regarding moral behaviour. Please do not do so (at least, not on my behalf) as I would not want Don to think that this note is intended to produce a quick bit of cheap rabble-rousing.
Thank you
Regards
Jonathan Lewis
