No. The message Jesus added to the tracer was, in its entirety: """ Oracle confirms the issue. They will provide a patch. """ That's just small, but has a high S/N ratio. The contents of Jesus' email has nothing to do with this issue. On Feb 1, 2008 10:37 AM, Steve Holden <steve@holdenweb.com> wrote:

Perhaps it has to do with the low signal to noise ratio of your messages...
That was a little uncalled for. Be polite.
I don't believe it was at all impolite: It was a literal observation of a relevant phenomenon. Jesus's email that started this thread used 1305 characters to simply say
"This will be my last email today, I don't want to waste (more of) your *valuable* time."
a message of 89 characters. By anyone's standards that's a low S/N ratio. Even without the digital signature overhead it is still 89 characters from a total of 648 ... it's quite possible that's why his messages are being misinterpreted.
