Is this the same type of logic used to defend an earlier statement of yours?

To wit:

        "As a general rule from now on I would only recomend SQL2000 Enterprise
for any new applications-It beats Oracle hands down,has all the bells and
whistles management tools/dev enviroment  that Oracle has not got yet. Its
aboubt as good as DB2/400 but is far cheaper and scales nicely at a fraction of
the cost."

Excuse me if I fail to see the credibility in your position, based on your posts
thus far.  Please try again with verifiable substantiation to your claims.
