		<description>Hi Kranthi,

I appreciate your greetings. I will check Discoverer forum.  I&#039;ve been on Siebel Analytics path and not very familiar with the Discoverer tool (except that it has a great feature that OBIEE doesn&#039;t have - in-place drill-down).  Keep up good work and I wish you the best.</description>

		<description>Thank you Christi@n,

I hope Justin (or whoever is in charge) can turn things around by enforcing a stricter moderation / rules.  Problem is - all of you guys share so much knowledge with other consultants (and possibly your future competition) without getting anything material in return (good karma doesn&#039;t count), but a lot of posters don&#039;t event respect your time (you still loose time reading stupid question). I don&#039;t blame those guys for leaving - I&#039;m actually spending very little time myself on OTN these days. Some people even don&#039;t  say thank you after you&#039;ve answered their question. I&#039;m sure you&#039;ve saved someone&#039;s job more than once. At least they could give you points. I want to finish on a positive note though - keep up your good work, even when volunteering - you get other intangible things in return, such as OBIEE brain work-out and personal brand name recognition. 

Best of luck to you!</description>

		<description>Hy wildmight,

Congratulations. 

I knew you under the name of wildmight before seeing that wildmight and Andriy was the same person. Funny !
I really belief that when you share (or best teach) your experience you have a lot in return.

It&#039;s my case, I have learned a lot with this forum and for this, I really want to thank you.

Thanks

		<description>Hi Andriy,

Well congrats! :-)

I agree with your evaluation of the point system. Venkat and several others I know completely ditched OTN simply because of the &quot;Rise of the Stupid Questions&quot;. I&#039;ve turned on my evil-git-mode recently and really like using &#039;http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com/search.pl?query=...&#039;. Should get the one or the other script kiddy out there thinking.

Cheers and congrats again!
