Except that IBM has precious little to do with U2UG. Okay, they want to help us, but there's that little matter of "being beholden to your sponsor", which we are not and we most definitely do not want to become.
U2UG is OF the users, BY the users, and FOR the users. It has nothing to do with IBM apart from the fact that we see it as our mutual self-interest to work together.

That's why it's called SOFTware. It can change to meet the needs of its customers. I agree with the reduction of efficiency that the new method will cause. Hopefully IBM can cause a change to accomodate the high level of service the oliver list provided. my 1 cent. *********************************************************************************** This transmission is intended for the named recipient only.
