Tom,
As you are a not to regular person here it seems an on going issue
with people not seeing other people at SHARE.
Since when is Tom Harper not considered a "regular" here??
There was an exchange about SCIDS on here as well. The big name
regulars have made it a point to have meetings at the IBM-Main table.
I showed up for one such event and was ignored even though I tried to
engage in conversation with several regulars on here. I have boycotted
such meetings as for some reason they seem to recognize each other
quite well.
You've been unfairly railing against SHARE longer than there's been an
IBM-MAIN table at SCIDS. If there's even one shred of truth to this part
of your story, I would not blame those so-called "big name regulars" one
bit for treating you badly. They were probably as sick of your tantrums
and anti-SHARE rhetoric as I am right now!
It was quite obvious that when it came to making a decision between
which group IBM would support when it came to a GUIDE/SHARE choice
that IBM took the SHARE group as they could influence (bully might be
a better word) SHARE easier. GUIDE was really giving IBM what for for
about 10 years and when it came to picking it was an easy choice for
IBM as their knew they could bend SHARE with their little pinky. GUIDE
had to many powerful people so it was an easier decision.
Repeating ludicrous assertions over and over won't make them true. In a
prior post you referred to this nonsense as a "rumor" you heard from
someone with a ribbon ten years ago. I was wearing a SHARE ribbon ten
years ago (still do -- more than one) and I've NEVER heard anything even
REMOTELY similar to these nonsensical claims. Personally, I think you
made it all up to draw attention to yourself. But, I know that arguing
with you here will be a frustrating and futile exercise. Probably the
best approach is to ignore you from this point forward ...
