I seem to notice a trend here on IBM-MAIN.   Ive been active for probably 25 
years on it, and the benefits I have received, and presume at least some of the 
advice/info I have provided has been helpful for some.

But what I notice, and I know none of these people personally, is that as folks 
age we seem to get grumpier, and have to be "RIGHT" all the time.   Why is 
that?  Thinking back over the years, I recall Ed Gould, liked to argue before 
he faded away off the list, then there was Chris Mason (RIP), that would argue 
USS and whether it was ok to use for VTAM or Unix, and now we have our latest 
example raging as we speak.   

I'm nearing the end of my career too, well maybe not that close, but turned 60 
this year.   I certainly hope I age a bit more gracefully, and not argue if the 
sky is blue or turquoise.

Have a good weekend, all.
