Re: Looking for "Knights of VM"
Alan,
If you are already a LinkedIn user then you would know what groups are.
No body is asking you to join LinkedIn at all.
If you are not interested in LinkedIn then you should ignore the post and
a comment is not necessary.
You are a member of the Knights of VM so that is the only qualification to
join the Group on LinkedIn if you were interested.
Nothing about this is political or religious so you have nothing to fear.
It was good to see you at SHARE last week.

Re: Looking for "Knights of VM"
Do I have to join Linkedin in order to join this group?
Why would I want to join Linkedin?
Why would I want to join this group?
I think this list is just fine for my (z/VM) purposes. What am I missing
here?
I got invited to apply for Mensa once. I couldn't see the point of that,
either.
I'm uncomfortable with joining groups that are not open to (almost) every
one. I can see excluding
trolls and spammers, though.
But maybe there is a good reason?

Re: Looking for "Knights of VM"
It's a cabal, Alan. Those who aren't in it will be conspired against by those
who are.
No, seriously, it's a community. Like all communities, it has some requirements
for membership ("interest" being the minimal requirement for any community no
matter how open). In this case, the requirement is having been Knighted.
Do we do anything terribly useful? Not yet. Is it terribly exciting? Not yet.
Is membership required by all Knights of VM? No. So join or not; the goal isn't
to be exclusive, but it's at least a worthwhile experiment. It may well die of
its own inertia, or turn into something wonderful...we'll see.
Your call.

Re: Looking for "Knights of VM"
Both terms are correct but they have different meanings.. A 'court jouster' is a warrior whereas a 'court jester' is a clown. Since Tony had made his remarks is 'jest' I chose to use court jester. /Fran On Tue, 3 Aug 2010 08:53:09 -0700 Schuh, Richard said: >Isn't that "court jouster"? > >Regards, >Richard Schuh > > > >> -Original Message- >> From: The IBM z/VM Operating System >> [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Fran Hensler >> Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 4:58 AM >> To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU >> Subject: Re: Looking for "Knights of VM" >> >> Tony - >> >> Would you like to be the Court Jester? >> >> /Fran >> -- >> -- >> On Mon, 2 Aug 2010 21:34:21 -0400 Tony Thigpen said: >> >OH NO! >> > >> >Knighthood has gone to their heads. >> > >> >Now they are better than us and need their own sandbox to play in >> >'cause they can't be bothered with us mere mortals. >> > >> > >> >(All in jest.) >> > >> > >> >Tony Thigpen >> > >> >-Original Message - >> > From: Fran Hensler >> > Sent: 08/02/2010 10:12 AM >> >> To all Dames and Knights inducted into the Order of Knights of VM: >> >> >> >> There is a LinkedIn group for us and it now has 45 members. >> >> >> >> I think there are eligible members on IBMVM that have not >> yet joined. >> >> >> >> Go to: http://www.linkedin.com/groupsDirectory >> >> and search for "Knights of VM" >> >> >> >> This is a closed group and in order to join I will verify your >> >> eligibility with the list at: >> >> http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/knights.html >> >> >> >> Sir Fran of the Rock >> >> >> >> /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania >> USA for 47 years >> >> mailto:f...@zvm.sru.edu http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh >> +1.724.738.2153 >> >> "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" >> >> >> - >> >> - >> >> >> >> >>

Re: Looking for "Knights of VM"
OH NO! Knighthood has gone to their heads. Now they are better than us and need their own sandbox to play in 'cause they can't be bothered with us mere mortals. (All in jest.)
