Hi Ron,
Trust me, I understand how you feel. Thing is, if you leave and if more of us leave, he wins and all of the rest of us who want and need this forum lose. I have a young Lab who cuts the fool and carries on and on The more I try to correct and instruct her, the worse she behaves. Yet she is desperate for my attention. The withdrawal of attention is the most effective means to get her to behave. You see, she craves that attention and will do anything to get it - including, if she must, behave herself. I have learned to give a post no more than one paragraph to prove itself. If within that space, the post shows itself to be rant de jour, attack de jour, or just a demonstration of the poster's inability or unwillingness to work and play well with others, I find a more interesting post. O ne find s treasures on the beach, and other items as well.

(Was: SDSF issue) Do you honestly think that Gates is the author of the Thesaurus shipped with Office? And as for defining my language, the English I speak and spell is much closer to the real thing then the one you use. So what? And so we get to your newest subject de jour; I am a sad character. Well what did I do to attract a personal attack? Whatever, I guess it makes it OK to return the same in kind, Chris please STFU. You won't find that acronym in a VTAM manual, and I really don't care if your do. Context is everything and so you know exactly what I mean. > > Gates? You trust Gates to define your language for you? You must be joking > or, if you are not, a sadder character than I thought. > Well everyone, this LISTSERV has been hijacked by one contributor and is now bordering on the ridiculous. Good day and good luck to all those I have debated, agreed with, and most importantly learnt from for the last 14 years, but It's farewell from me. I'll watch for it to be renamed to USS-IS-A-VTAM-ACRONYM-MAIN sometime in the future. I'll look out for you at the IBM-MAIN table at SCIDS next Share.
