No question too simple or too complicated - if you can't be bothered to
answer or think the qustion is a case of RTFM ignore it or repy to the
poster only telling him/her that .... and don't complain when we
occasionally sully these hallowed halls with a little humour please :)) and
just like learner drivers remember we've all been beginners at one time
.....

It can be cumbersum, but it's relatively easy to quickly identify simple
questions and delete the email immediately.

The bad part is after the weekend, Monday morning there is a "Plethora" of
LAZY DBA emails to cyphon thru...

Hi,

Can I ask a basic question - what is the main purpose of this group?

Is it a place for total beginners to learn how to be a DBA, or is there
some level of self help that is expected of people before they ask a
question?

There seems to be an awful lot of questions that can be answered if people
would bother to spend 5 minutes looking up the information in the
documentation, OTN, or MetaLink.

I know it is called "Lazy DBA", but I think this is taking it too
literally.

If the main purpose is as a training ground for people just starting out
with Oracle, then it does not really offer anything to an experienced DBA,
which is precisely the type of person I would have expected would have the
most to contribute..

What are other people's thoughts on this? Are my expectations too high?

Paul
