Here we go again ...

>If "USS" was "official" you would expect a massive number of hits.

Wayne (nor anyone else who has ever weighed in on this topic) never
claimed it was "official".  Read his post...  the word official was never used.

>Of course I have no doubt that the developers among themselves use "USS"
>very freely as will any, for example, redbook authors or SHARE attendees,
>who come into contact with them.

Exactly... common usage and less keystrokes.  So what is the problem in
using it in a forum like this when everyone knows exactly what it means?
Are all the net jargon abbreviations"official".  Do we waste time debating it? 

All who object:  Feel free to spell out Unix System Services (I tend to
use "z/OS Unix" in my "formal" writings) in any posts you need to.  Otherwise,
unless you really don't know what the OP was talking about, there is no 
point in debating this over and over again.
