I like this. It’s why I don’t care what listers think about me. I know my character is flawless. My reputation is one of challenging bullsh*t. Many don’t like to be challenged. I’m retired now. (Recent) It gives you a freedom you don’t have throughout life where you have to bite your tongue.

Ive been active for probably 25 years on it, and the benefits I have received, and presume at least some of the advice/info I have provided has been helpful for some. But what I notice, and I know none of these people personally, is that as folks age we seem to get grumpier, and have to be "RIGHT" all the time. Why is that? Thinking back over the years, I recall Ed Gould, liked to argue before he faded away off the list, then there was Chris Mason (RIP), that would argue USS and whether it was ok to use for VTAM or Unix, and now we have our latest example raging as we speak. I'm nearing the end of my career too, well maybe not that close, but turned 60 this year. I certainly hope I age a bit more gracefully, and not argue if the sky is blue or turquoise. Have a good weekend, all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
