In a message dated 98-06-30 14:36:30 EDT, you write:

Look, this is getting a little tedious.  One of the hallmarks of a good
programmer is supposedly an _ATTENTION TO DETAIL_ (although spelling and
grammar are exempt as we are constantly working in shortcuts and acronyms!) --
another is a good memory.  A monthly posting of the lists' guidelines and
credits is sent to the list, tomorrow is the next one.  These guidelines
clearly state that there is no affiliation with either Midrange Systems or IBM
and MIDRANGE-L.  David is not competitive at _ALL_ as he sells no product
himself and downplays his (fairly recent) employment with Silvon.  In case you
haven't noticed, David isn't selling _ANYTHING_, nor allowing anyone else to
use his various venues to do so.

To see people continue a thread of this nature is disappointing, at best.
This means that none of you has donated any equipment or funds to the
continuation of MIDRANGE-L because you think it some sort of commercial
enterprise rather than the non-profit, unbiased, and free exchange of
information that it is.

Since no advertising is allowed, there are no dues, and our e-mail addresses
aren't sold, just how do you propose that David is affiliated with some money
making scheme here?  Please take the time to read the guidelines tomorrow...
