I have no desire to see this list censored in any way and I believe that people should feel free to discuss things candidly on this list.
That being said, I'd just like to remind everyone that this list is monitored and the words you say can be used against you or others to promote a certain agenda. For example, statements like:
Wishing I'd stuck to it and put the database on EMC w/ Oracle replication,
Whether true or not, you can be sure that EMC sales and FUD teams will gleefully take this line and use it whenever they can.
This is not to say that we shouldn't talk about problems with Netapp's products (that's part of the point of the list, right?). It's the price you pay for having such an open discussion (and if it didn't go on here, it could go on elsewhere). I just thought I'd remind folks (not just you, Kevin) that their words could come back to haunt them.
