Hi Peter,
this reminds me of another story ...
some day my customer (a large insurance company here in Germany) asked
me to talk with their IBM rep,
because we had a severe problem with one of the DB2 components which I
discovered, and I was asked to
have IBM fix it or otherwise provide a solution of my own (it was in the
DB2 interface for Batch - CAF - IIRC,
and it used 5 % of the overall CPU in some of our IMS regions simply by
walking sequentially through
some MVS control blocks chains)
So I called the IBM rep, and the first thing he asked me was: "are you a
systems programmer"?
and, although I wasn't sure at that time what that means, I said: "yes,
but why do you want to know?",
and he said: "well, if not, we're not gonna talk with you"
:-)
Kind regards
Bernd

Some parts of the discussion reminds me to Lewis Carroll, Through the

It reminds me to the citation that that I made in ibmmail descript
https://www.funet.fi/pub/doc/netinfo/EARN/ (There are some other
gems in that directory).
"song" = "what is your profession."
