Excuse me?   This clearly belongs in net.jokes.  

I don't think this newsgroup is the proper place for commercial
messages either.  However, the discussion of performance of various
systems by USERS, whether accurate or not, certaily does belong here.
I certainly hope the Mr. Tierney is not suggesting that people stop
talking about INGRES in this newsgroup.
