RE: [MI400] MI as the MI language of the as400

Holy Cow Batman!

If I was Jon, I'd tell the whole lot of you to take a flying leap.

You have the benefit of his extremely in-depth knowledge of the
development of RPG and the inner workings of the Toronto labs.

And what do you do?  Things like  "Bullshit alarm just went off".  Leif
is also very guilty in this area.

The way some of the posts read on this list, you'd think Jon single
handed turned the AS/400 into a dog turd.

My question to you is when was the last time YOU developed a system as
complex as the AS/400?  As STABLE as the AS/400?  As SUCCESSFUL as the
AS/400?  My guess is NEVER.  Because if you had, you would be rich and
not hanging around bickering about events that happened years ago and
REALLY NO LONGER MATTER!

If I where you, I'd be stroking Jon for all he was worth.  He is an
awesome resource for a list like MI400 and likely the BEST resource on
this list!

Which brings up another point.  Anytime a current IBM'r shows their
face on this list, he/she gets jumped all over in the SAME manner.
Ever wonder why they don't return???

You are acting like children.  And snot nosed ones at that.

I'm not trolling here.  Just expressing my opinion.  If you want to
flame me, then so be it.  If you want to ban me from MI400, then tell
me and I'll unsubscribe myself.

And I am NOT directing this just at Steve.  He is guilty (IMO) this
time, but others have been guilty of the above at different times.  But
this is the 2nd time in this thread this has happened and I just felt
the need to speak up.

Speaking only for myself,
Bob Crothers
