That statement was for people who tend to point fingers. Note that at least in the mainframe world, we have to fill savagely huge shoes and it's not the easiest job in the world, considering the bigger picture (that only we are 'lucky enough' to see).
">>I'd like to believe this was [not? -- gil] because of me (!!!), but >>only IBM knows what really happened :)" Meant it as I said it (without the 'not'). Just found it slightly amusing that something I said may have caused IBM to take down a site. Very unlikely, but an amusing prospect nonetheless. – Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: 12 October 2017 23:04 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: whois.ibm.com - gone On Thu, 12 Oct 2017 17:06:48 +0000, Sankaranarayanan, Vignesh wrote: > >PS: Someone who's a bit rubbish in their job doesn't need be from India for it >to make sense.

If employees overseas were compensated fairly, according to ability, there'd be no incentive for companies to move jobs offshore. The pernicious "cheapest bidder" effect would remain as powerful locally as internationally.
