And such a civil treatment of Mr. Bakker from you, as well, digging
into the past to resurrect a post from Mr. Bakker, in another
newsgroup, on a topic not pertinent to comp.databases.oracle.server,
simply to revel in another persons discomfort.  Mr. Bakker is, without
question, knowledgeable in Oracle, and has proven so on numerous
occasions.  You, however, have yet to prove anything except your
contempt for a man whose Oracle knowledge probably far outdistances
yours.  Where are your posts, where are your responses to the questions
posted herein?  I fail to find anything of merit attributable to you.

Such displays are reserved for those still in grade school, or possibly
pre-school; apparently this is how you wish to be considered, as an
immature being with little or no regard for others. Also, I am truly
surprised you can comprehend the posts of Mr. Bakker, or of most any
other in this newsgroup, given the display of poor vocabulary you've
provided.  Vulgarity is the oasis of a weak mind; were the Sahara lush
and green in its entirety it could not compare to the vast expanse you
have nesteled between your ears.

Mr. Bakker has proven himself time and again in this forum, and, yes,
his responses are not always the most gracious, however the questions
to which these responses are given are of the FAQ variety, easily found
with a quick Google search on the internet or by a search through the
newsgroup archives.  Answering the same question over and over and over
for people too lazy to search is, to be blunt, annoying.  Pointing said
people, even in a rather brusque tone, is better than ignoring them
entirely, and may possibly instill in them the need to search for their
answers rather than seeking an endless source of solutions garnered
without thought or care.  It is the 'give a man a fish, he'll eat for a
day; teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime' approach; he,
and I, would rather see people successfully fishing rather than
standing at the dock waiting for leftovers.  Then, possibly you are one
of those who are too lazy to fish, and are offended when someone, in an
attempt to teach, admonishes you for your attitude.  This forum is
provided for assistance, and the providers are volunteers.  As such,
posters are not entitled to fully realised solutions; they ARE entitled
to any and all help provided by those donating their time, such as Mr.
Bakker, no matter how uncivil YOU perceive that help to be.

Dear Mr. Barnett ... I don't give a damn.
You are off-topic, offensive, and should be ashamed of your own
behaviour.

You remind me very much of a cartoon I remember from the 1960's that
related to the cold war between the US and the Soviet Union. To
paraphrase based on my memory: "If the Soviet Union announced it was
going to send a man to hell the US would announce the very next day it
would get there first."

Well you've certainly outdone Sybrand in every imaginable way.
Congratulations.
Well done.
A toast to you.

Few people can walk into a room of total strangers and so decisively
make a bad first impression.

Yes, and another thing Mr Sybrand, Mr Morgam, Mr Lewis et al.
Why have you never told us about curing a slow database by increasing the
size of 'the' tablespaces?!
Is this a secret you have been keeping to yourselves?!
The fault report I just received explains everthing about it!

FAULT : server: OORSERVER --- oracle databse --- access to the databse is
exceptionally slow --- user advsied they had a problem previously and the
table space was expanded, this solved the problem ---- user wants the table
space checked
OPERATING SYSTEM:Unix

(Average free space = 30%).
I would love to get hold of the DBA who worked here before me........ just
for 5 minutes in a locked room.....
Shabble.

James Barnett apparently said,on my timestamp of 28/07/2005 6:29 AM:

Hey Mr Barnett:

WTF CARES?

Now: kindly, piss off.

How old are you?

Do you have a problem because he knows a lot about Oracle... or the fact
he wields his knowledge like a big club, ready to bash brains out with
it at the slightest provocation...

Looking at the whole thread (with some help from Babelfish), I don't
think Sybrand came off half-bad.  The other guy sounded like Tom Cruise
telling mothers they didn't have post-partum depression.
