For what it's worth, I think this IBM-MAIN subject line choice is a bad one.
First, the word "disadvantages": sadly, such incidents are not unique to India. Unfortunately in a global comparison of crime rates the U.S., as an example, might not rank well. Second, the word "outsourcing": a huge part of IBM's presence in India involves the myriad activities to sell and support its growing product and service businesses in India, including products and services produced outside India. The word "exporting" would be more accurate. At least the "OT" (off-topic) part is correct: the chosen subject line has nothing to do with the story. It's a simple story deserving a simple reaction. I hope we can all agree that this threat is reprehensible and move on. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
