I  think Gavin makes a very good point about the HP3000-L and its users. I
attempt to read most of the postings weekly. I am also a member of Interex.
My association with both groups has been edifying.
I disagree with only one word in Gavin's post and that is *versus*. Using
his analogy of batch and online, who among us runs only batch or only
online? We need both.
HP is a huge company that attempts to listen to its customers. If we want to
be heard we need to seek every avenue of communication available. HP will
only listen to whomever they can hear. So vote any and every way you can.
