I have to agree.
Richard, I really have to give you credit.
Your response was professional and as usual, very informative.
Linus, I apologize at my attempt at humor.
I guess humor is a lot like beauty because I thought it was very funny.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program....

OK, time for a group hug.

Richard, you never get enough accolades for the amazing free and excellent
advise you offer through this list and at your faq site.  Thanks!  I think
Linus is mad about something else, however, and I doubt if he really hates
you.  My daughters used to say that to me when I launched into my pedantic
father-voice at a time of seemingly world-ending situations.  They don't say
that any more as long as I don't get sarcastic.

Mark, I always appreciate your attempts at levity - but it looks like this
one missed!

Um, you really need to inspect the From address in email, where you would
see
that I did not advise Dorothy emulation.

That response was from another List member...who was undoubtedly frustrated
at
receiving yet another broadcast request on how to get off the mailing list
from
people who have discarded the information they received upon joinin.g
I summarize in ADSM QuickFacts the various sources of information about how
to
properly quit the List, and portals for doing so.  The info:

        (Note that the process of subscribing and unsubscribing is explained
in
         the introductory information you received when you joined the
List...
         which you were supposed to save; in the TSM Backup-Archive client
         manuals, under "Online forum"; in the product upgrade README files;
in
         the Monthly TSM FAQ; on the IBM Tivoli Communities web page

www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/Tivoli_Communities.html)
