- In a previous life, I was doing consulting work for a state agency
- (programming COBOL on an IBM System/36 - never again!). There was a
- way to terminate certain jobs that ran before they were completed, and
- whenever I trapped the proper signal, I'd display a message "JOB
- ABORTED". Once the job was compl;eted and had been running for a
- couple of weeks, a bigger cheese than the one who had contracted me
- came down to look at the system. This guy took one look at the message
- and flipped, since he was anti-choice. He insisted I change all of the
- messaged that said "ABORT".
