As somebody who lost their job due to out-sourcing (twice), I agree. Stop putzing and show compassion! - Too busy driving to stop for gas!

I lost many colleagues and friends this week, who were excellent technicians and who really worked in the trenches as many of us on the list do. If you want to rant about CA products and solutions, the support you may or may not be getting, or the quality of acquired companies; by all means, go ahead. It is an open forum. But many of these folks have distinguished careers, families to support, and definitely don't need to hear anyone's opinion on their value. And if you want to hide behind anonymous fictitious names, also go ahead; we already think less of you. Sorry for the rant to those who don't deserve it. Have a good weekend.

And it's clear in your first sentence that some level of personal opinion on the off-topic concern was intended, and yes, I expect there are CA workers on this forum that have been disrespected.
