Oracle views its development operation through rosy glasses similar to those through which you view yours. But, as I said, they're honest enough to admit that they could be mistaken. I continue to find it regrettable that you are (were) punishing them for their honest in what looks like an attempt to score cheap marketing points at their expense. Hence my vigorous defense of them against your misrepresentation. CAM Jerome,
