There are other methods to check someone's safety. One of them is to send an email to that person and NOT to THOUSAND others. BTW: the topic is not about the person, it is about country. AFAIR there was no such topic about Ukraine. We (polish people) had been receiving over 100k refugees *daily*. 100k places to sleep, meals, clothes, etc. I was the part of the community which helped and tried to organize it. However I didn't talk about it on IBM-MAIN. Not because it was something not important - just because this is a list about mainframes.

P.S. I also fully support people in Israel, I am willing to help them as I can. But I won't create off-topic noise on IBM-MAIN - it won't help anyone.

P.P.S. Sometimes I exchange emails with some persons from IBM-MAIN list, in many cases the topic is not related to mainframes. We do it OFF LIST just to reduce the noise.

I started this thread to see if Benyamin Disson was ok.

Let's stop this thread unless one of the guys in Israel gets hurt.

  Yes, of course it has.  The rules depend upon the "subject" being posted.  It 
may have nothing to do with technical information.
