Just checked the date & realized that was at TOS in Sept., to which I replied thusly:

I’m mostly done with what I was trying to do, then (onto the next headache). I suppose it’s a valuable feather to have in my cap, i.e. job experience, but man I’d really prefer to have nothing to do with Oracle ever again.
