Stuart is. Join us on OT. (running and ducking) R -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Hans-Christian Andersen Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2012 7:00 PM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Enterprise in 20 Years If this discussion is heading towards a debate on whether climate change is man-made or not, I am not interested in debating this.
