Steve How about if someone on the list who has a web site set up a standard e-mail to send to the illustrious Mr. Palmisano. The e-mail could consist of the eloquence we so often find in these posts regarding how vital a tool this is and how it was trumpeted by IBM as being so 21st century etc. etc. Then we just need everyone on the list who feels aggrieved - probably many more than fruitlessly vent their bile in posts to us all - to click on the link and - just maybe - something good will come from it. If someone in IBM needs to spend time analysing these e-mails in order to block them perhaps some ingenuity can be applied - and there's so much of that available here - to defeat him/her. The effort to block the e-mails would require some management focus and it just might occur to the besuited ones that solving the problem at source would be a better use of resources than fending off the brickbats. Incidentally I guess mentioning the money angle is also important in getting the besuited ones attention even if actually getting the unmentionables involved would be most improbable. Chris Mason <SNIP> The amount of time you spent on your response and dreaming up some scheme for annoying Mr. Palmisano is less than the time it would have taken you to just click the link and filled in the form and mention that "the Web version of IBMLink is down for the [#] time in [#] months. There seems to be a problem here with the support of mainframe environments." 'Nuff said.
