I worked for an health insurance company. As another poster said, “that's how all insurance companies function. there's a reason why they're often compared to a legalized mafia.”
I’m curious as to why you guys can’t seem to ignore the troll? Or create some filter that you guys mentioned was easy. Or even listen to Darren? And why do the same guys complain about the troll? The ones who seem to think their constant reminiscing about the good old mainframe days is relevant? Like I said previously, there are thousands of mainframe people who don’t post, probably aren’t even registered, likely not even aware of the list. It has degenerated into 20-30 guys (and it’s mostly guys) who need to show how much they think they know. Posting the same drivel over and over. Of all the shops I’ve worked and all the people I worked with over 40+ years, there aren’t 5 people who even care to subscribe. It’s more like a frat club. And I’m unwilling to perform the hazing. And if the troll was banned, who is to say he/she doesn’t have 4 other accounts? Is the list that technically robust a user can actually be stopped from posting? Is there a TOS? Some of us joined when Marist College (I think) hosted it. It’s a slippery slope when freedom of speech is squelched. Especially when the entity is a government run, taxpayer funded institution.
