Is that allowed?

A good question. We have talked about "acceptable/fair use" before. e.g. http://www.dbasupport.com/forums/sho...0&pagenumber=3

I doubt if Oracle would be able to maintain that it is losing support fees because of that post. On the other hand Rampant Techpress has taken the high moral ground on this issue: http://www.rampant-books.com/t_plagi..._detection.htm

Most people accept that a short quote, which acknowledges its source, is fair use. Arguably that's the case here.

P.S. . . . and if it's "for nonprofit educational purposes" it's fair use: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107

We should really keep that a secret. ;)

Well gee thanks Gandolf lol :p
I knew eventually Tom would show up here with all the hoopla going on and I didn't know how he'd take it seeing someone with a tag that they were his illegitimate son.

You brought it up and I just couldn't resist. In fact you gave me the idea to do it. :D

At first, I thought the tagline was a joke, made up....

A quick search on google and looking at the cached page -- I see it was for real:

In OracleDoc's defense, I would say that that is the highest form of flattery! ;)
Well, ok, maybe there is a higher form of flattery! :D

Shame you don't remember the guy "with his pocket protector, bow-tie, huge overbite .. about 4'6" and 210lbs. Bald .. drove a corvette." If he were older than you, that would be a cast-iron defense. :)

Well Gee lets just get all the skeletons out of the closet now. lol
