In my opinion, anyone who flames you for the post quoted below ought to be
banned from this list. A flame to the post below carries more risk of
alienating the IBM people who contribute to this list than anything that
poster could contribute. IBM people who pos to IBM-Main add a lot to this
list. Like Rick said, they don't have to do that. And some of them,
contrary to IBM policies, actually fix or change code that people from
IBM-Main bring up.
I, for one really appreciate the IBM posters.

I don't really care how the issue is resolved, whether APAR or PTF. As long
as we've got friends like Peter and Jim to help us serve our companies, and
customers, better, I'm all for it! WAD or BAD doesn't have a great
distinction for me; I just want the best service I can give my company, and
ultimately my company's customers. When people like Peter, Jim and other
IBM'ers are willing to help, I'm grateful enough that I refuse to "look the
gift horse in the mouth". They're trying to do their best for their
customers, just as we are. It's just that their customers are a somewhat
different subset of society than ours, so there's a somewhat different
viewpoint involved.
I can only say "THANK YOU" to ALL the IBM'ers who are involved, however
peripherally, in our discussions here. And ditto to all the other
manufacturers' representatives who offer their help and advice here.
Those who disagree, feel to "flame on" in my direction.......... :-D
