Wiki has some strange rules, and they prefer secondary sources. To me that sound like a way for errors to creep in, but those are the rules. Anything printed in a trade journal should work. Could there be something in annals of computing? In general, I've found wiki to be a hostile working environment, due to the lack of an effective dispute resolution mechanism, and I am concentrating on software-related articles, where I haven't run into as many issues with other editors. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Grant Taylor <0000023065957af1-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> Sent: Friday, October 29, 2021 4:40 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Reliable source for slang term "noodle picker"?

Is there any chance that an interview / statement from one or more people with first hand experience during the 2321's heyday would count? I don't think there is any reliable source for calling a modem connection sequence "sounds like a duck choking on a kazoo" either. Yet I know many people that have used that expression. Maybe describe it as a colloquialism. There are many things in history that people are not proud of. But the dislike thereof doesn't mean that they didn't happen. -- Grant. . . . unix || die ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
