Cheryl, thanks for the kind words. I am in no way a professional writer, so a compliment from you is taken as a high honor.
To be honest, I still use USS as I see fit too. A few months ago, I was willing to say anything to make the tortuous arguing stop. Now, I have outlook rules in place that drop the noise level and arguments that arise when some get offended and want to labor on over non-mainframe technical issues.

I don't have enough time in my life to deal with those threads. For some unknown reason, I started reading this. Tom, I loved your very sane response, but as a writer and publisher I will not stop using USS when it makes sense for a couple of other reasons. IBMers use it too often to get all legal about it (as you'll see below). </snip> This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
