And, minister of propaganda, to which faction do you belong?  The snide
remarks faction?  The cheap shot faction?

Honestly Tracy, I love your comments, they keep the list on an even keel.

On this issue, I think everyone involved needs to take a (insert name of
favorite relaxant/relaxation technique break) and perhaps think about their
posting for 15-20 minutes before sending it.  Words have been written and
statements have been made all in the heat of, well, something.  I sense
there is something deeper in all this to which I am not privy, thank God.
 I believe the discussion is important, but let us be, shall we say, less
personal and more professional about it.  Invective is usually a good way
to lose support and sully your point of view.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .

This is way cool.  An internecine political fight.

I propose that we divide ourselves into factions:

The User Faction.

The Consultant Faction.

The HP Faction

The Lurker Faction which has subfactions:

-  The Recruiter Lurkers
-  The DEC/VMS Lurkers
-  The AS/400 Lurkers
-  The HP-UX Lurkers

Then the candidates can run under the Open Platforms of one of the
factions, or the hidden agendas of one of the Lurker subfactions.
Realpolitik at it's finest.
