RE: Security simpler and cheaper with iSeries -- MIDRANGE-L

"Palace Guard",

Let me re-phrase the prior post...

It may have APPEARED that I was endorsing PowerTech products, over PentaSafe
(or others which I've never heard of).

If I left that impression, then I should have been more careful.  At the
same time, I'm thanking Steve (from PentaSafe) for his post.  Also, I don't
consider downloading a freebie a ringing endorsement.

However, since you took it as an endorsement, I will be more careful how I
word things in the future.  I hope you don't read too much between the
lines, also, but that's up to you.

Thanks for your views.

jt

| Palace,
|
| You may be guarding the palace, but AFAIK, david and Don are
| still the kings
| of this list.
|
| People "endorse" products all the time.  Does this rule apply to
| anybody who
| posts info on favorable results with a product, or just me...?!?
|
| ===> I need to correct a serious mis-impression you have,
| however:  I don't
| endorse ANY products.  Period.
|
| I've seen a lot of good info from John Earl, on this list, and heard many,
| MANY good reports on their product from others on this list.  I'm passing
| along this information, same as I passed on the tip about Simon Coulter's
| package.  All I'm doing is passing on what I think is
| interesting, and if I
| study the product and find it delivers what it says, I'll pass that along
| too.  If I think it stinks, I'll pass that along as well...  Been doing
| that, for some time now, (same as a lot of folks here).  Your's
| is the first
| complaint.  Seems like it's OK as long as I'm endorsing or
| ranting on an IBM
| product... but not other products...?  I have no financial interest in
| PowerTech, BTW.
|
| Also BTW, this post lead to a phone call with Steve Martinson of
| PentaSafe.
| Have not seen many posts from him, so making this connection made the post
| worthwhile.  For the two of us, anyway, if for nobody else.
