Re: Nobiity and not-quite-so-nobility

[Marty Zimelis]

Jon,
   The Order of the Knights of VM, an ancient and noble assemblage,
recognizes those in the VM community who, in the opinion of their peers
(already members of the Order), have made noteworthy contribution to the
health or growth of the VM operating system.  New Knights are invested at
each nx5 year anniversary of the VM operating system.  (Watch the Summer
2007 SHARE meeting for the next ceremony as we celebrate VM's 35th
birthday.)

   Sir Rob the Plumber was recognized for his contributions to CMS
Pipelines.  (You figure it out.)  The man can do more with the LOOKUP stage
than most people can do with an entire programming language.  Be careful who
you mock.  Many of the regular contributors to this list have been invested
Knight Members of the Order and are proud of the honor.  :-)
