   One of the keys to successful communication is know your audience. If I want to   
   discuss the Oracle Java XQuery API or the next version of the SQL standard,   
   it's   
   not something I'd post in comp.databases.oracle.marketplace. The audience for   
   those topics is the same one that would like to hear Jim Melton describe what   
   to   
   expect in the next version of the SQL standard. Instead of getting second-hand   
   information in the newsgroup, people have an opportunity on March 15 to get   
   their information from the source (the editor of the SQL standard).   
      
   The comp.databases.oracle.marketplace newsgroup is mostly people looking for   
   employees/employment, consulting, or announcing a product. Messages about   
   events   
   that are not marketplace-related are lost in the clutter.  That's why I didn't   
   originally post there but thanks for the suggestion.
