Lionel,

Yes, he is still subscribed, but he might have his account set to nomail.  I
myself find it interesting that he tries to portray all of us as wild-eyed
members of a cult, but doesn't acknowledge that at least one of us (me!)
told him that we _already know_ S/390 processors are slow compared to Intel,
AMD, etc. when it comes to raw CPU-intensive work.  As I've said before,
that particular dead horse has been flogged enough.  Also, does anyone have
any idea where he might have gotten the idea that someone on the mailing
list claimed 99,000 instances on one processor?  I don't remember seeing
that particular bit of nonsense before, but if anyone else does, I'd
appreciate a pointer.

On to making this beast work, now.

Seems that the linuxworld author of the mainframe articles is none too
happy with those on this listserv.

All I can say is I am disappointed that the editors would publish his rant
and as I assume he is still subscribed to this listserv I'm sure he will
see this. The referenced article (see above url) is highly unprofessional
and shows someone who can not accept critism or correction.  In this
business we all need to know how to say "I don't know" and "you taught me
something" as things change too fast to have our feet in concrete.
