Comments on: Burleson buys BMC ? http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/burleson-buys-bmc/ Just another Oracle weblog Sat, 18 May 2013 11:04:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jonathan Lewis http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/burleson-buys-bmc/#comment-39767 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:51:43 +0000 http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/?p=5730#comment-39767 I see that Charles Hooper’s original article has re-appeared (with a footnote). So I think we can safely assume that Burleson Consulting has NOT purchased BMC Patrol.

A number of suggestions have accumulated here over time.

I do read it from time to time – it rarely fails to amuse.

Why would Oracle buy another VM when it already has one? To kill it off and take the customers, of course.

But this was a humour post, so it would be more like Why would Wired Press buy The Onion?

Why would he buy another tool if he already has one that he is selling?
Makes no sense to me.

I intentionally have a filter of all of my searches to eliminate anything from what seems like billions of his domains. :)

When did Burleson consulting turned into a billion dollar company ?..

Perhaps, in the spirit of Descartes: “I don’t think, therefore I litigate”
