Friday Topic...

[Gary Green]

I know, I know, this has nothing to do with mainframes, but being Friday and
all...  Besides, I was hoping I could get this past the censors...

Most of us in this newsgroup are from a time that we will appreciate the
music, and the "talent" exhibited reminds me of what we do on a daily basis
in an attempt to keep our jobs, keep the machines humming and our bosses
(all of them) happy.

This is very "G" rated and be sure, durned sure, you can hear the music as
the video plays.  After the "intro" hit the "Watch This Video Again" to see
the entire thing.

I hope you enjoy it.  If you have already watched it, forget I ever
mentioned it.

Re: Friday Topic...

[Ted MacNEIL]

I am getting sick of Friday Topics.
Why do we have to go to off-topic just because it's Friday?
First, these topics rarely stay on just Friday.
Second, there is already a low signal-to-noise ratio on this list.
I know I have not been perfect in the past, but I have stayed on topic for the 
last few months.
Why can't everybody else?

Great post and has more to do with MF jobs than you think. Do not tell

Re: Friday Topic...

[Stefani Collier]

Are you kidding?  Off-topic was the 3380 to 3390 conversion thread 
morphing into a riduculous conversation about contractors/consultants 
which caused the original poster of the question to have to ask for help a 
second time.  You have the option of not participating by not reading the 
email.Just do that and move along.

Amazing - an earlier poster said something about juggling 3480
cartridges.  I've never done that but have definitely felt like this guy
while trying to juggle projects.

This is the last I'm going to say on this (off-)topic.

Re: Friday Topic...

[Eric Bielefeld]

Ted,

I don't expect a reply, as you said this was the last you were going to 
say, but this list has always gotten way off track on many topics.  
Friday off topic things are common.  I'm sure Darren agrees with you, 
but he rarely does anything about them.  

It doesn't take much to delete emails like this one by subject, so 
what's the big deal?  (Stir up the pot a little).
