To both "sides" in this silly argument: Enough Wasting Time!

Just sit on your fingers about those little complaints and irritations.
Some postings are bound to be a source -  just ignore them.

Let's get on with the real business of using the HP 3000, HP3000-l, and
the HP 3000 community, as a partner, and of making the HP 3000, HP3000-L,
and the HP 3000 community into a partner, in providing quality business
solutions to our business and for other businesses.

Discretion really is the better part of valor (whomever said it was right
- and I know someone will tell us who it was).

And to Jerry, I add: Please withdraw your suggestion.

One does not repair divisiveness by confrontation.
I, as a consultant and HP 3000 advocate, will continue to participate in
HP3000-l.
