Chris,

I would only recommend to the others on the list that non-engagement is
probably the only successful strategy.  And to leave you to your opinion of
USS.  I would additionally ask that when you experience any outrage about
USS uses, that you would channel the outrage into a new post.

I do appreciate you finally starting your own thread.  I have gone out to
read some of your posts regarding a variety of subjects.  While being a bit
brittle at times, your posts did seem to indicate that you do possess a good
handle on Communication Server issues. I can only say that you have not
dissuaded me one bit from my current use of USS.

I have the following "take aways":

1) Information regarding a "dirty look" from a person deeply ensconced in
VTAM-speak when I use USS for Unix System Services.

2) You have inspired me to act rather than just disagree with you ad nauseum
and to take a page from Dilbert.  I encourage everyone that considers USS to
be Unix System Services to write [email protected] requesting the
modification of the USS acronym definition.  I have sent my first e-mail
requesting the change, and I plan to encourage all System Programmers that
USS should be changed in the official IBM Terminology page.

Cheers,
Rob Schramm
