David, I didn't think that people weren't playing nice. But, your observation about the megalith is right on. We don't use Websphere, per se, here but we do use MQ Series queues and adapters running under CICS to manipulate the queues. I'm not sure why Hubert thought I had a problem, maybe didn't read the email from the bottom?
I agree with the spanking part <g>.

Easy, easy... this isn't IBM-MAIN or LKML. Play nice. > Last question: What do you mean with "MQ only"? Probably has to do with the recent (and IMHO not beneficial) renaming of MQ to be part of the Websphere megalith. Not everyone got the memo on the new name, and the phrase "Websphere MQ" commonly still parsed as Websphere + MQ, not just the pure MQ we used to have to cope with. IBM: is it really beneficial to push things that you've built a name for into association with things that pretty much aren't more than peripherally related, and have some negative connotations as well? *sigh* Some things normal mankind just isn't meant to know, I guess. Another example of marketing wonks doing something to make understanding what we do more difficult. Methinks a good spanking is in order. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
