Speaking from a vendor perspective, because I have been there, I don't know
of any vendor that likes to have his problems exposed to the rest of the
world. IBM-MAIN may be able to solve, in many cases faster than any other
way. However, from a vendor point of view they would rather not make that
obvious.
I must admit to having done some CA bashing of my own in times past. I
never really cared for CA until May of 2005 when I worked as a consultant at
CA headquarters in Islip, NY. I realized the strangest thing during that
project --> the employees of CA were just people, very similar to the ones I
worked with at BMC. Go figure, Texas and NY people being similar!
I have since made every effort to restrain myself when I get ready to rant
about someone or product.

I've been a consistant "CA Basher" for many years. I've never had issues
with the technical staff, but I've been "less than overjoyed" at some of
their marketing and management practices. Having come into possession of
a CA Marketting Handbook, through channels I won't discuss, I can see
that parts of my "bashing" were justified; other parts were not. But
when I ask for a FAX of a proposed contract and instead find 9
marketting reps waiting on my doorstep, I consider that a severe abuse
of my time, not to mention my intelligence.
Accountants and lawyers are ruining our world. Follow Shakespear's
advice: "Kill all the lawyers."
