Thanks for pointing that out.

Perhaps I misstated my impression - what I really mean is that Google
appears to find me noticeably fewer hits for DB2 questions than it
does for the others. Of course, a great deal of what I find for the
others is garbage. Maybe DB2 folks tend to concentrate in just a few
venues rather than spattered all across the web. If so, Google would
tend to give a misleading impression at first glance - I need to pay
more attention to the "similar results".

So far it has seemed like 50% of the useful (to me) DB2 material I
have found was written by Serge (and not just for DB2 - Serge's
comments on Oracle have also been useful once or twice!) I think that
will change as I better understand how to find where the DB2 goodness
is.
