Customers promote products when they believe in them. Word of mouth is an
extremely effective form of marketing.

Whether they ~should~ or not is not a question. If you have invested in
this platform, and your career is better for it, then promoting it should
be EASY. What needs to change is not the promoting of it, but the DEMOTING
of the platform by its so-called proponents.

While we continue to talk about the platform like it is something old,
while we continue to use the platform like it is something old, while we
continue to naysay and blame IBM for perceived woes, while we continue to
be threatened by change, while we continue to propagate old branding,
while we continue to complain about googling, while we continue to make
claims that the branding is awful, while we continue to show we are simply
ignorant about our own platform, we are simply adding to the perception
that we have an OLD platform.

Which, is simply not true with IBM i - an OS that runs on Power Systems.

So, rather than ~should~, maybe it needs to be "the customers ~could~
promote the products".
