Sometime my opinions are right, sometimes wrong, sometimes short sighted, and sometimes just need a tweek here and there.<BR/><BR/>As for "good information" and blogs, I guess the reader has just to remember, it's not their blog. If they don't like it, tune out.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile this exercise in "tagging" has been particularly good for me as it has taken away some of the elitism that shrouds Oracle employees and other bloggers. Great to see many are dedicated parents, or musicians, or love football, love traveling, and so on. For instance I know now not to offer you a nip of scotch as swap for those pints I owe you next time we catch up ;)<BR/><BR/>CM.Chris Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566648350240654621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38586079.post-348903217794273062008-01-12T01:07:00.000+09:002008-01-12T01:07:00.000+09:00Chris, you're blog seems to be so good at causing ...Chris, you're blog seems to be so good at causing ruptions! (a'la your Apex debate).<BR/>My tu'pence worth is I don't personally propagate chains, however much of the linking that goes on in work communities can often be started by a common "non work" interest. So what consititure "good information"? I could point to a whole load of other blog posts that I would personally view as useless spam - (but not this ;o) )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38586079.post-47618857700445472252008-01-10T17:17:00.000+09:002008-01-10T17:17:00.000+09:00Geez Howard, take a chill pill.

It's just a bit of harmless fun after Christmas.<BR/><BR/>I know I've enjoyed the experience in learning some interesting facts about other Oracle bloggers. And given my web stats show just over 400 other people have bothered to read my "tag" post in the last few days, shows your point of view is just that, your point of view.<BR/><BR/>CM.Chris Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566648350240654621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38586079.post-62766410007330932032008-01-10T11:49:00.000+09:002008-01-10T11:49:00.000+09:00Well, it's too late for two of the people on your ...Well, it's too late for two of the people on your blogtag list, but could you maybe privately contact the other 6 and ask them nicely not to proliferate this rubbish any further.<BR/><BR/>Go look at OraNA and see if you can see anything actually newsworthy... because right now, it's bogged down in a bazillion '8 complete bits of trivia' posts.<BR/><BR/>This is spam, pure and simple. By all means share whatever you want with the Oracle community: that, after all, is what blogs are *for*. But this 8*8*8... nonsense is very, very silly. Worse, it's pushing good information out of the way for what amounts to sheer noise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38586079.post-68546940171163179312008-01-10T00:58:00.000+09:002008-01-10T00:58:00.000+09:00You lived and worked in Pittsburgh, my hometown?

What an odd place to get the American experience.<BR/><BR/>Where's the original "Office" on your list of funny British comedy?<BR/><BR/>For the record, I love Australia.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661151740067801922noreply@blogger.com
