I'm sorry if my messages have been bothersome to the group. I tend to
get drawn into unproductive discussions, which is a personal flaw. From
now on, I'll focus solely on technical discussions.

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.
