i hope i don't get kicked off this forum for doing this ( again
progresstalk is more of a pet forum
peg is where the real things happen
peg is an email group not a web forum
i think, it's been around since the 90's
all you have to do is go to the subscription page
http://www.peg.com/lists/subscribe.html
mark the topical lists you want to participate
and enter you email address
i think for your purposes subscribe to
the peg ( general ) and dba lists
i'd recommend opening a new mail account, there's a high volume of post's
if you'd like i can send you a gmail invite
just a word of caution peg is a very moderated forum
some of the behavior that's tolerated in progresstalk isn't at peg
i'd recommend going over the welcome page first
http://www.peg.com/welcome.html
i remember my first time
