Gil, They do at least provide the URL, I left it off for brevity. No word as to whether they'll send any kind of correspondence in the future or just expect folks to bookmark the URL and then remember to go look on a weekly (or other regularly scheduled time) basis.

Looking at: <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=897*ENUSRA-US__;Lw!!KjMRP1Ixj6eLE0Fj!tlgIpmRPQSOYhPh_7WJev3sLL1Bd3KR-kmg3i61tNRfP60Hhqym9Nlv_X2R4MXQ8QdSQeYIAmv-9fB7xKlzTw_-tY6vkYwtmJU1c$ >, I see more than 6-8 notifications per page. Is there a better location? Worse? There is a malign WWW style rule that each page must fit on a screen, thwarting the "Find in Page" function. I believe it arises from a journalistic convention that absurdly requires a list of 100 names to be split into paragraphs no longer than 8 column-cm. with a different introductory phrase for each. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
