Hmm.  Yet over on comp.sys.ibm.sys36.misc (that may be off a bit...
I read that one at work) when Business Partners post, they *don't*
get flamed.  Maybe it's a matter of what the participants want to
hear about?

You may now feel free to point out that sys36.misc is a very new
group (go figure) and therefore just Doesn't Understand Usenet
Tradition.
