It's really a shame that IBM-MAIN does not have a "Like" button.

And they would mostly tolerantly ignore me and tell me that before long, I would be just like them with too much work to do and no time to argue about such things. And I thought, "No way! They are wrong. I will always make time to be passionate about that." But it didn't take long for them to be proved correct. Jim Mulder z/OS Diagnosis, Design, Development, Test IBM Corp.
