Hello,

  Here's 4 easy steps that show how you too can be a "Seriously
Disruptive" DBA:

1) Sign on to MySQL as "root"
2) Perform a "show databases;"
3) For each entry you see, issue a "drop database X;" command
4) Sign out and disavow any knowledge of your actions

Now seriously...I was a bit confused here: many MySQL "DBAs"
(certainly the ones chasing the MySQL certificates) just want to
master the latest production-rated edition of MySQL; they aren't
really interested in coding.  In fact, I was a bit surprised to see
that there was no mention of the MySQL cert program in Mr. Benjamin's
advertisement looking for a "MySQL DBA" - wouldn't that pool of
certified MySQL DBAs seem like a better place to start?

MySQL moderators - can we limit these sort of messages to just
"jobs@(protected)" or something?  AFAIK, I'm currently only
subscribed to "win32@(protected)" at the moment and I don't link
this message "concern(ed) the MySQL software on Microsoft operating systems"
