rec.humor.oracle, or one of the foreign language derivatives
of same. Newbies frequently confuse the Oracle with Oracle, a
database vendor. As a result, the unmoderated
rec.humor.oracle.d is frequently cross-posted to by the

said in similar situations, "Don't people bother to look at the
newsgroup description line anymore?" (To which the standard
response is, "Did people ever read it in the first place?")
