RE: The IBM iSeries word from FOSE...

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob, I find this statement too offensive to ignore.

Mike made some comments that implied that he thinks Wintel is catching
up to the iSeries in stability.  I have seen no statistics that say
anything like that, and that's pretty much what I said.

So to imply first that you even have such statistics (and my guess is
that you have none) and that I will ignore such statistics (again wrong)
is rude and condescending.  It implies that my statements have no merit,
and as much as I disagree with you, at least I show you enough respect
to not dismiss you out of hand.

I may well continue to argue my opinion.  That's sort of the point of
the whole thing.  But, hey, if you find that my comments slow you down,
hit the delete key, buddy.

P.S. In case you're one of those folks who think that a smiley face
makes everything all better, then here's mine... :)
