Carmen - never put yourself down. While you may not be 'as smart' as some, I'm sure you are 'smarter' than some as well. We each bring to the table (forum/life) our own skills and capabilities which complement rather than replace those of others.

As I mentioned, being a novice myself at one time, I needed help with a SYSPLEX issue, I asked here, well, IBM-MAIN, and no one paid attention, at the time the hot topic for MVS folks was Windows related, I pointed that out that this was a MAINFRAME forum and was immediately shamed and flamed by Mark Zelden + others , that was the only reason why I came across that other site . I've been a SYSPROG since 1993 came up from operations, I'm not as smart as most here but I do try and provide help when I can, and continue to read the Q+A here. again thanks for reaching out to me and not shaming me more on the forum Carmen Vitullo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sri h Kolusu" <skol...@us.ibm.com> To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Sent: Monday, June 15, 2020 1:01:41 PM Subject: Re: New Mainframe Community > well then - they miss out on me, I've got free answers, and I know a > lot of folks - beginners mostly that received good help. I was a member of those sites and provided numerous answers (skolusu) and quit when they started forcing ads. >I have much more work to do than research other sites. I only pointed out because you are promoting a sham site. Nothing against you.
