- Seeing as recent discussion on this thread has degenerated into a
- flame fest, allow me to express my general disgust at the responses
- to Garry's (garry@ithaca.com) thoughts on VMS shareable images from
- the self professed VMS "experts" in this group.
-
- Ehud (gavron@vesta.sunquest.com) spouts a fair amount of drivel about
- hackers, engineers and "scientifics". Carl (carl@SOL1.GPS.CALTECH.EDU)
- sounds like he would prefer a fistfight to a discussion on the
- subject. Neither one seems to offer any insights or other coherent
- thoughts on why (technically) Garry's ideas are so bad. They
- actually tend to sound somewhat like a VMS "Moral Majority" - VMS is
- good ... DEC did it right ... anyone who says different is evil and
- must be exorcised from the NET.
-
- Sorry guys ... any argument that relies on four-letter-friend-getters,
- sarcasm, and personal attacks holds little weight in my book.
-
- If you don't have anything else to offer, I, for one, would
- appreciate it if you would go find another thread to flame.
