I've publicly told Sybrand to be more positive. However, I recognize he has his valid reasons, and leave it at that, he can follow my suggestions or not, his choice. Plenty of room in this group for divergent views. Plenty of room on the rest of the intertubes for anyone who wants to leave in a huff.

Any question can be posted: some will be flamed. Some shouldn't be posted. There is a charter, and plenty of advice on getting along in this group. I wrote some: http://www.dbaoracle.net/readme-cdos.htm

I'm with you on this one, but this group has one big advantage - it is unmoderated. Some places, you can't be a wimp and be a DBA. "You cannot go against nature, go against nature, that's part of nature too." - Love and Rockets

That's all nice, but does it really qualify you to give advice on how to give DBA advice?

Well, I don't agree with that. There's ONE THING a DBA must get right - recovery. If it takes abuse/firing for people to get that, so be it. You could take the positive view, and realize that people could learn from the advice.

That's the thing - stupid questions. I've advocated being nice to newbies, but I can see the other viewpoint. So when does a question become stupid? When it appears the person hasn't put in basic effort to solve it first, especially when the person does that repeatedly. There's a doc about how to ask good questions. There's a metalink doc on how to submit good support requests. Do I need to point to them here?

So again, why does that qualify you to tell others how to give Oracle advice? When I was an application vendor support person, I concentrated on Oracle, that made me very sought after. Years later, I'm still benefitting from that. And still laughing at vendors who don't have a goto Oracle person.
