Hoo boy. I'd hate to see what happens when that .1% watches infomercials at night.

Seriously, sort of, I always took those comments by Mladen to mean "don't take our word for it. These are suggestions but you are still responsible for understanding what it does." If someone would just cut, paste, and run a script they don't understand on their production system they shouldn't be responsible for a production system. Just recently on this list there was a discussion trying to understand the logic behind a script. That's the way to go.

Granted Joe, but do you remember awhile ago some folks trying and complaining about

alter system "_run_sql_faster"=true;

Some people will try just about everything that is being said in various forums ...

We shouldn't worry about 99.9%, but the 0.1% who will actually try any advice and scr**w up the
whole thing by blindly following it without understanding anything about it. That in my opinion
outweighs everything else.

However, I am not suggesting that we let go humor, but maybe a little disclaimer would help.
