i hope this thread is still alive.... and my reply makes it to the list...

by removing Steve from the list, we all will miss the insight into oracle
internals,
which he provided, thru his answers and the links (plugs ? ) to his
website..

many threads would end when Steve provides his explanation/answer, this show

the respect posters have for his knowledge or Oracle.

please reconsider

Regards
Rahul

Henry, List

I second you on this one.
I respect Henry being the list owner, having authority to do as he
pleases.

ORACLE -L is possibly the best Oracle list out there,and has brought so
many

Oracle professionals together, but lets not lose our experts.

Please reconsider the removal of Steve Adams from the list.

He takes up lots of his time to answer performance related questions
posted by list members with precise actions to be taken and great
explanations.

He is an invaluable member to the Oracle world and his expertise,
generosity
will
surely be missed if he removed.

Kind Regards and pls reconsider
Suhen




List,

While I respect Henry's authority as list owner to remove people from the
list, and the need to do so when people are breaking the rules, I would
like
to protest the removal of Steve Adams. He is one of the top experts in
Oracle internals in the world, and he was gracious enough to take time to
answer people's questions on the list.

I am not sure what he ever did that was thought to be spamming, except
answer people's questions. He has a link to his website in his signature,
and often his answers were links to a place on his site where he had
already
answered that question. I don't see what's wrong with that, none of it
seems to violate the rules of the list.

If it was a matter of one or two people complaining about Steve's posts,
perhaps the list should have been asked. I can only hope that the
overwhelming majority understood Steve's method of answering questions and
were not annoyed with it.

The show now knows a lot less about Oracle Internal Services.

I'm afraid, you'll actually have to leave the list Steve. Picking lines
from
private emails sent between us, and presenting them out of context isn't
something that most people would have expected from you. I'm sorry that
it's
had to come to this.

Indeed, the show will go on.

Goodbye.
Henry.

    Dear Henry,

    I am sure there are many-many more who want to request not

    To be frank & honest, he is the only list member who
    has a folder in my outlook( I am not offending any-body
    else)........

    Seriously ... please dont' do this........

    you're right -- Henry isn't the list owner here in any case.

    For those of you who want to discuss this, Henry set up a discussion forum
    on the lazydba site.

    AFAIK, Steve is still a member of Oracle-L :)

    Dear Henry,

    Please reconsider this issue !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am sure there are many-many more who want to request not
    to remove Steve and would support my mail, but are afraid
    that other's mail-box would fill up by these request only..
    To be frank & honest, he is the only list member who
    has a folder in my outlook( I am not offending any-body
    else)........
    Seriously ... please dont' do this........

    Best Regards,

    i hope this thread is still alive.... and my reply makes it to the
    list...

    by removing Steve from the list, we all will miss the insight into
    oracle
    internals,
    which he provided, thru his answers and the links (plugs ? ) to his
    website..

    many threads would end when Steve provides his explanation/answer, this
    show

    the respect posters have for his knowledge or Oracle.

    please reconsider

    Henry, List

    I second you on this one.
    I respect Henry being the list owner, having authority to do as he
    pleases.

    ORACLE -L is possibly the best Oracle list out there,and has brought so
    many

    Oracle professionals together, but lets not lose our experts.

    Please reconsider the removal of Steve Adams from the list.

    He takes up lots of his time to answer performance related questions
    posted by list members with precise actions to be taken and great
    explanations.

    He is an invaluable member to the Oracle world and his expertise,
    generosity
    will
    surely be missed if he removed.

    Kind Regards and pls reconsider
    Suhen




    List,

    While I respect Henry's authority as list owner to remove people from the
    list, and the need to do so when people are breaking the rules, I would
    like
    to protest the removal of Steve Adams. He is one of the top experts in
    Oracle internals in the world, and he was gracious enough to take time to
    answer people's questions on the list.

    I am not sure what he ever did that was thought to be spamming, except
    answer people's questions. He has a link to his website in his
    signature,
    and often his answers were links to a place on his site where he had
    already
    answered that question. I don't see what's wrong with that, none of it
    seems to violate the rules of the list.

    If it was a matter of one or two people complaining about Steve's posts,
    perhaps the list should have been asked. I can only hope that the
    overwhelming majority understood Steve's method of answering questions and
    were not annoyed with it.

    The show now knows a lot less about Oracle Internal Services.

    I'm afraid, you'll actually have to leave the list Steve. Picking lines

    private emails sent between us, and presenting them out of context isn't
    something that most people would have expected from you. I'm sorry that
    it's

    Indeed, the show will go on.

    Yeah, amoung the complaints I saw against me where.

    I plugged my website (which I make no money, and provided for the
    benefit for others)
    Two my emails were too long (I obviously spent too much time answering)
    Someone would come back and there would be 30 emails from me (Obviously
    I answered too many questions)
    I would just say "i agree" at times (I guess backing up someone's
    comment and basically saying I couldn't said it better and I would only
    repeat his answer to strengthen it).

    This is all after I left from hearing about Henry's plot. Now someone on
    this list has already posted someone on the board saying I am only plugging
    my site, yet I have answered around 30 questions in less than 3 days.
    Granted I try to get people to look at my site so they may find something to
    help them. Shame on me.
    The funniest thing is there is 1500 or so list members on the other list,
    30-50 of them post answers, 1450-1470 just post questions. I have yet to
    see the 30-50 of the complain about the same issues or much of anything.

    People don't understand it takes time to answer these emails and we have
    better things to do. We do this because we want to help people, with all
    the barage of crap from people, it makes you want to just not bother.

    As such, my site will be unavailable due to it's helpful nature.

    You have a nice site, why take it off. If 30 people complain, they have an
    option "not to click on the link". For every good thing there will be a lot
    of bad things. I just feel sad that we lost a good resource on the net.
    Please bring it back.

    A request to everyone ... a mere mention of a website doesn't mean that
    someone is pushing for a product, if you don't like it, don't visit the
    site. Everyone has the choice ... why complain? It is same as using the
    delete key for unwanted email.

    On a lighter note, how many of us feel compelled to send an email every time
    they see an email address?

    Oh Well ... I'll go hide now ... the Politically Correct police is already
    in the lobby ... and the only thing I can say is ' AM I STUPID? '

    Just my thoughts ...

    I agree with Raj; and, yes, I am one of those 1450 who "lurk" on the list,
    not contributing much. I'm still learning Oracle, and am in awe of those on
    the list with so much knowledge! I've been a DBA for many years (IMS and
    DB2 before learning Oracle), and I've learned that you never know when
    you're going to need a resource. We all have delete keys, and hopefully
    know how to use them!

    You have a nice site, why take it off. If 30 people complain, they have an
    option "not to click on the link". For every good thing there will be a lot
    of bad things. I just feel sad that we lost a good resource on the net.
    Please bring it back.

    A request to everyone ... a mere mention of a website doesn't mean that
    someone is pushing for a product, if you don't like it, don't visit the
    site. Everyone has the choice ... why complain? It is same as using the
    delete key for unwanted email.

    On a lighter note, how many of us feel compelled to send an email every time
    they see an email address?

    Oh Well ... I'll go hide now ... the Politically Correct police is already
    in the lobby ... and the only thing I can say is ' AM I STUPID? '

    Just my thoughts ...

    What is the purpose of subscibing to Lazydba list at all?. I subscribed
    sometime ago and in several months unsubscribed. There are only couple of
    people who know what they are talking about and a lot of them on this list.
    Number of cluless questions tremendows etc. Again, my impressions from about
    a year ago. But I think nothing changed. However it would be intersting to
    read selected lines from Henry's e-mails which Steve picked up and and what
    was main Steve's sin. Of cource mentioning his website in his e-mail it is
    something uconsionable and unprovoked :-)
    Why would anybody do it when they already have www.lazydba.com - I don't
    understand it.

    Yeah, amoung the complaints I saw against me where.

    I plugged my website (which I make no money, and provided for the
    benefit for others)
    Two my emails were too long (I obviously spent too much time answering)
    Someone would come back and there would be 30 emails from me (Obviously
    I answered too many questions)
    I would just say "i agree" at times (I guess backing up someone's
    comment and basically saying I couldn't said it better and I would only
    repeat his answer to strengthen it).

    This is all after I left from hearing about Henry's plot. Now someone on
    this list has already posted someone on the board saying I am only plugging
    my site, yet I have answered around 30 questions in less than 3 days.
    Granted I try to get people to look at my site so they may find something to
    help them. Shame on me.
    The funniest thing is there is 1500 or so list members on the other list,
    30-50 of them post answers, 1450-1470 just post questions. I have yet to
    see the 30-50 of the complain about the same issues or much of anything.

    People don't understand it takes time to answer these emails and we have
    better things to do. We do this because we want to help people, with all
    the barage of crap from people, it makes you want to just not bother.

    As such, my site will be unavailable due to it's helpful nature.

    you're right -- Henry isn't the list owner here in any case.

    For those of you who want to discuss this, Henry set up a discussion forum
    on the lazydba site.

    AFAIK, Steve is still a member of Oracle-L :)

    Henry, List

    I second you on this one.
    I respect Henry being the list owner, having authority to do as he
    pleases.

    ORACLE -L is possibly the best Oracle list out there,and has brought so
    many

    Oracle professionals together, but lets not lose our experts.

    Please reconsider the removal of Steve Adams from the list.

    He takes up lots of his time to answer performance related questions
    posted by list members with precise actions to be taken and great
    explanations.

    He is an invaluable member to the Oracle world and his expertise,
    generosity
    will
    surely be missed if he removed.

    Kind Regards and pls reconsider
    Suhen




    List,

    While I respect Henry's authority as list owner to remove people from the
    list, and the need to do so when people are breaking the rules, I would
    like
    to protest the removal of Steve Adams. He is one of the top experts in
    Oracle internals in the world, and he was gracious enough to take time to
    answer people's questions on the list.

    I am not sure what he ever did that was thought to be spamming, except
    answer people's questions. He has a link to his website in his
    signature,
    and often his answers were links to a place on his site where he had
    already
    answered that question. I don't see what's wrong with that, none of it
    seems to violate the rules of the list.

    If it was a matter of one or two people complaining about Steve's posts,
    perhaps the list should have been asked. I can only hope that the
    overwhelming majority understood Steve's method of answering questions and
    were not annoyed with it.

    The show now knows a lot less about Oracle Internal Services.

    Henry,
    I am with all of our fellow DBA's requesting reconsideration of Steve Adams'
    removal from list.
    Being a list member for couple of years, I found Steve Adam's replies
    as one of the finest and most authentic on oracle subject. It looks that the
    matter is handled on personal account rather than professionally. I never
    saw Steve's reply as insulting or personal to anybody rather it looks his
    replies and advices like fatherly and helping a lot of DBA community
    experienced or newbi equally.

    Besides, I was thinking that Jared Still is list owner so far....

    Have a nice long weekend to all.

    What is the purpose of subscibing to Lazydba list at all?. I subscribed
    sometime ago and in several months unsubscribed. There are only couple of
    people who know what they are talking about and a lot of them on this
    list.
    Number of cluless questions tremendows etc. Again, my impressions from
    about
    a year ago. But I think nothing changed. However it would be intersting to
    read selected lines from Henry's e-mails which Steve picked up and and
    what
    was main Steve's sin. Of cource mentioning his website in his e-mail it is
    something uconsionable and unprovoked :-)
    Why would anybody do it when they already have www.lazydba.com - I don't
    understand it.

    Yeah, amoung the complaints I saw against me where.


    1. I plugged my website (which I make no money, and provided for the
    benefit for others)
    2. Two my emails were too long (I obviously spent too much time
    answering)
    3. Someone would come back and there would be 30 emails from me
    (Obviously
    I answered too many questions)
    4. I would just say "i agree" at times (I guess backing up someone's
    comment and basically saying I couldn't said it better and I would only
    repeat his answer to strengthen it).

    This is all after I left from hearing about Henry's plot. Now someone on
    this list has already posted someone on the board saying I am only
    plugging
    my site, yet I have answered around 30 questions in less than 3 days.
    Granted I try to get people to look at my site so they may find something
    to
    help them. Shame on me.
    The funniest thing is there is 1500 or so list members on the other list,
    30-50 of them post answers, 1450-1470 just post questions. I have yet to
    see the 30-50 of the complain about the same issues or much of anything.

    People don't understand it takes time to answer these emails and we have
    better things to do. We do this because we want to help people, with all
    the barage of crap from people, it makes you want to just not bother.

    As such, my site will be unavailable due to it's helpful nature.

    you're right -- Henry isn't the list owner here in any case.

    For those of you who want to discuss this, Henry set up a discussion forum

    on the lazydba site.

    AFAIK, Steve is still a member of Oracle-L :)

    Please reconsider this issue !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am sure there are many-many more who want to request not
    to remove Steve and would support my mail, but are afraid
    that other's mail-box would fill up by these request only..
    To be frank & honest, he is the only list member who
    has a folder in my outlook( I am not offending any-body

    Seriously ... please dont' do this........

    i hope this thread is still alive.... and my reply makes it to the
    list...

    by removing Steve from the list, we all will miss the insight into
    oracle
    internals,
    which he provided, thru his answers and the links (plugs ? ) to his
    website..

    many threads would end when Steve provides his explanation/answer, this
    show

    the respect posters have for his knowledge or Oracle.

    please reconsider

    You have a nice site, why take it off. If 30 people complain, they have an
    option "not to click on the link". For every good thing there will be a lot
    of bad things. I just feel sad that we lost a good resource on the net.
    Please bring it back.

    A request to everyone ... a mere mention of a website doesn't mean that
    someone is pushing for a product, if you don't like it, don't visit the
    site. Everyone has the choice ... why complain? It is same as using the
    delete key for unwanted email.

    On a lighter note, how many of us feel compelled to send an email every time
    they see an email address?

    Oh Well ... I'll go hide now ... the Politically Correct police is already
    in the lobby ... and the only thing I can say is ' AM I STUPID? '

    According to a comment posted there, Rachel Carmichael is a spammer too !!

    Sure, Rachel "The Spammer Goddess" Carmichael, posts nothing but some junk
    recipes ....

    (How about 'Cooking 101 for DBAs to go with your 'junk' recipes, Racheal?
    Sounds like there will be a few takers;)

    What is the purpose of subscibing to Lazydba list at all?. I subscribed
    sometime ago and in several months unsubscribed. There are only couple of
    people who know what they are talking about and a lot of them on this
    list.
    Number of cluless questions tremendows etc. Again, my impressions from
    about
    a year ago. But I think nothing changed. However it would be intersting to
    read selected lines from Henry's e-mails which Steve picked up and and
    what
    was main Steve's sin. Of cource mentioning his website in his e-mail it is
    something uconsionable and unprovoked :-)
    Why would anybody do it when they already have www.lazydba.com - I don't
    understand it.

    Yeah, amoung the complaints I saw against me where.


    1. I plugged my website (which I make no money, and provided for the
    benefit for others)
    2. Two my emails were too long (I obviously spent too much time
    answering)
    3. Someone would come back and there would be 30 emails from me
    (Obviously
    I answered too many questions)
    4. I would just say "i agree" at times (I guess backing up someone's
    comment and basically saying I couldn't said it better and I would only
    repeat his answer to strengthen it).

    This is all after I left from hearing about Henry's plot. Now someone on
    this list has already posted someone on the board saying I am only
    plugging
    my site, yet I have answered around 30 questions in less than 3 days.
    Granted I try to get people to look at my site so they may find something
    to
    help them. Shame on me.
    The funniest thing is there is 1500 or so list members on the other list,
    30-50 of them post answers, 1450-1470 just post questions. I have yet to
    see the 30-50 of the complain about the same issues or much of anything.

    People don't understand it takes time to answer these emails and we have
    better things to do. We do this because we want to help people, with all
    the barage of crap from people, it makes you want to just not bother.

    As such, my site will be unavailable due to it's helpful nature.

    you're right -- Henry isn't the list owner here in any case.

    For those of you who want to discuss this, Henry set up a discussion forum

    on the lazydba site.

    AFAIK, Steve is still a member of Oracle-L :)

    I am sure there are many-many more who want to request not
    to remove Steve and would support my mail, but are afraid
    that other's mail-box would fill up by these request only..
    To be frank & honest, he is the only list member who

    i hope this thread is still alive.... and my reply makes it to the
    list...

    by removing Steve from the list, we all will miss the insight into
    oracle
    internals,
    which he provided, thru his answers and the links (plugs ? ) to his
    website..

    many threads would end when Steve provides his explanation/answer, this
    show

    the respect posters have for his knowledge or Oracle.

    please reconsider

    Henry, List

    I second you on this one.
    I respect Henry being the list owner, having authority to do as he
    pleases.

    ORACLE -L is possibly the best Oracle list out there,and has brought so
    many

    Oracle professionals together, but lets not lose our experts.

    Please reconsider the removal of Steve Adams from the list.

    He takes up lots of his time to answer performance related questions
    posted by list members with precise actions to be taken and great
    explanations.

    He is an invaluable member to the Oracle world and his expertise,
    generosity
    will
    surely be missed if he removed.

    Kind Regards and pls reconsider
    Suhen




    List,

    While I respect Henry's authority as list owner to remove people from the
    list, and the need to do so when people are breaking the rules, I would
    like
    to protest the removal of Steve Adams. He is one of the top experts in
    Oracle internals in the world, and he was gracious enough to take time to
    answer people's questions on the list.

    I am not sure what he ever did that was thought to be spamming, except
    answer people's questions. He has a link to his website in his
    signature,
    and often his answers were links to a place on his site where he had
    already
    answered that question. I don't see what's wrong with that, none of it
    seems to violate the rules of the list.

    If it was a matter of one or two people complaining about Steve's posts,
    perhaps the list should have been asked. I can only hope that the
    overwhelming majority understood Steve's method of answering questions and
    were not annoyed with it.

    The show now knows a lot less about Oracle Internal Services.

    I'm afraid, you'll actually have to leave the list Steve. Picking lines
    from
    private emails sent between us, and presenting them out of context isn't
    something that most people would have expected from you. I'm sorry that
    it's
    had to come to this.

    Indeed, the show will go on.

    What is the purpose of subscibing to Lazydba list at all?. I subscribed
    sometime ago and in several months unsubscribed. There are only couple of
    people who know what they are talking about and a lot of them on this
    list.
    Number of cluless questions tremendows etc. Again, my impressions from
    about
    a year ago. But I think nothing changed. However it would be intersting to
    read selected lines from Henry's e-mails which Steve picked up and and
    what
    was main Steve's sin. Of cource mentioning his website in his e-mail it is
    something uconsionable and unprovoked :-)
    Why would anybody do it when they already have www.lazydba.com - I don't
    understand it.

    Yeah, amoung the complaints I saw against me where.


    1. I plugged my website (which I make no money, and provided for the
    benefit for others)
    2. Two my emails were too long (I obviously spent too much time
    answering)
    3. Someone would come back and there would be 30 emails from me
    (Obviously
    I answered too many questions)
    4. I would just say "i agree" at times (I guess backing up someone's
    comment and basically saying I couldn't said it better and I would only
    repeat his answer to strengthen it).

    This is all after I left from hearing about Henry's plot. Now someone on
    this list has already posted someone on the board saying I am only
    plugging
    my site, yet I have answered around 30 questions in less than 3 days.
    Granted I try to get people to look at my site so they may find something
    to
    help them. Shame on me.
    The funniest thing is there is 1500 or so list members on the other list,
    30-50 of them post answers, 1450-1470 just post questions. I have yet to
    see the 30-50 of the complain about the same issues or much of anything.

    People don't understand it takes time to answer these emails and we have
    better things to do. We do this because we want to help people, with all
    the barage of crap from people, it makes you want to just not bother.

    As such, my site will be unavailable due to it's helpful nature.

    you're right -- Henry isn't the list owner here in any case.

    For those of you who want to discuss this, Henry set up a discussion forum
    on the lazydba site.

    AFAIK, Steve is still a member of Oracle-L :)

    Dear Henry,

    Please reconsider this issue !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am sure there are many-many more who want to request not
    to remove Steve and would support my mail, but are afraid
    that other's mail-box would fill up by these request only..
    To be frank & honest, he is the only list member who
    has a folder in my outlook( I am not offending any-body
    else)........
    Seriously ... please dont' do this........

    i hope this thread is still alive.... and my reply makes it to the
    list...

    by removing Steve from the list, we all will miss the insight into
    oracle
    internals,
    which he provided, thru his answers and the links (plugs ? ) to his
    website..

    many threads would end when Steve provides his explanation/answer, this
    show

    the respect posters have for his knowledge or Oracle.

    please reconsider

    Henry, List

    I second you on this one.
    I respect Henry being the list owner, having authority to do as he
    pleases.

    ORACLE -L is possibly the best Oracle list out there,and has brought so
    many

    Oracle professionals together, but lets not lose our experts.

    Please reconsider the removal of Steve Adams from the list.

    He takes up lots of his time to answer performance related questions
    posted by list members with precise actions to be taken and great
    explanations.

    He is an invaluable member to the Oracle world and his expertise,
    generosity
    will
    surely be missed if he removed.

    Kind Regards and pls reconsider
    Suhen




    List,

    While I respect Henry's authority as list owner to remove people
    from
    the
    list, and the need to do so when people are breaking the rules, I would
    like
    to protest the removal of Steve Adams. He is one of the top experts in
    Oracle internals in the world, and he was gracious enough to take
    time
    to
    answer people's questions on the list.

    I am not sure what he ever did that was thought to be spamming,
    except
    answer people's questions. He has a link to his website in his
    signature,
    and often his answers were links to a place on his site where he had
    already
    answered that question. I don't see what's wrong with that, none of it
    seems to violate the rules of the list.

    If it was a matter of one or two people complaining about Steve's posts,
    perhaps the list should have been asked. I can only hope that the
    overwhelming majority understood Steve's method of answering
    questions
    and
    were not annoyed with it.

    The show now knows a lot less about Oracle Internal Services.

    I'm afraid, you'll actually have to leave the list Steve. Picking lines
    from
    private emails sent between us, and presenting them out of context isn't
    something that most people would have expected from you. I'm sorry that
    it's
    had to come to this.

    Indeed, the show will go on.

    If you know why it was done, it makes sense.
    It isn't brilliant or moral, but makes sense given the mentality.

    Isn't that (removing Steve from Lazydba) akin to removing your brain to
    spite the space between your ears?

    you're right -- Henry isn't the list owner here in any case.

    For those of you who want to discuss this, Henry set up a discussion forum
    on the lazydba site.

    AFAIK, Steve is still a member of Oracle-L :)

    Dear Henry,

    Please reconsider this issue !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am sure there are many-many more who want to request not
    to remove Steve and would support my mail, but are afraid
    that other's mail-box would fill up by these request only..
    To be frank & honest, he is the only list member who
    has a folder in my outlook( I am not offending any-body
    else)........
    Seriously ... please dont' do this........

    i hope this thread is still alive.... and my reply makes it to the
    list...

    by removing Steve from the list, we all will miss the insight into
    oracle
    internals,
    which he provided, thru his answers and the links (plugs ? ) to his
    website..

    many threads would end when Steve provides his explanation/answer, this
    show

    the respect posters have for his knowledge or Oracle.

    please reconsider

    Henry, List

    I second you on this one.
    I respect Henry being the list owner, having authority to do as he
    pleases.

    ORACLE -L is possibly the best Oracle list out there,and has brought so
    many

    Oracle professionals together, but lets not lose our experts.

    Please reconsider the removal of Steve Adams from the list.

    He takes up lots of his time to answer performance related questions
    posted by list members with precise actions to be taken and great
    explanations.

    He is an invaluable member to the Oracle world and his expertise,
    generosity
    will
    surely be missed if he removed.

    Kind Regards and pls reconsider
    Suhen




    List,

    While I respect Henry's authority as list owner to remove people from the
    list, and the need to do so when people are breaking the rules, I would
    like
    to protest the removal of Steve Adams. He is one of the top experts in
    Oracle internals in the world, and he was gracious enough to take time to
    answer people's questions on the list.

    I am not sure what he ever did that was thought to be spamming, except
    answer people's questions. He has a link to his website in his
    signature,
    and often his answers were links to a place on his site where he had
    already
    answered that question. I don't see what's wrong with that, none of it
    seems to violate the rules of the list.

    If it was a matter of one or two people complaining about Steve's posts,
    perhaps the list should have been asked. I can only hope that the
    overwhelming majority understood Steve's method of answering questions and
    were not annoyed with it.

    The show now knows a lot less about Oracle Internal Services.

    I'm afraid, you'll actually have to leave the list Steve. Picking lines
    from
    private emails sent between us, and presenting them out of context isn't
    something that most people would have expected from you. I'm sorry that
    it's
    had to come to this.

    Indeed, the show will go on.

    Goodbye.
