Kolusu, reached out to me personally and I replied to the wrong message and my response went to this forum, so I need more coffee. thanks for the kind words and now that my response is 'out there' I have to apologize to Mark for naming names. As a novice it's sometimes frustrating when the company you support does not pay for Q&A support from IBM and has been so terrible to loose all their MF staff. I've been lucky to be able to move on and learn more about design and build and supporting my environment. back to my corner

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. Flames should be reserved for fires and stars, not for shaming 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.
