Richard,

that was just a lot insulting.  not growing as a professional?? i have a 
responsibility to provide my boss with a system that delivers at optimal 
performance in a timely way with as little management cost as possible.

Please don't patronize me because truthfully there are far more people using 
NBU than TSM and if you were asked to make the switch you would probably just 
walk out and leave them high and dry (not that i believe that, but you see what 
kind of emotion that generates for you).  I'm willing to give TSM a day in 
court, but I'm not sure that the "benefits" outweigh the risks given our 
situation.  They pay me a lot of money to deliver fast restores and, if i 
compare the soup to nuts, NBU is better at that and requires far less overhead 
and administrative actions.

To get NBU to the standard I would like however, I have to invest time and 
money, and to leave TSM and tweak it was/is an option i would consider if it 
could be done in a cheaper faster way.

I've not seen anyone give me any actual evidence that its possible given that 
this particular TSM install was done incorrectly and would need to be torn out 
in either case.

Please don't belittle me as a professional, you don't know me, my capabilities 
or my desire to get the job done.

Perhaps if you could offer me more than "1500 people in the mailing list are 
using TSM for their sites needs" I might better understand your viewpoint, but 
NBU is not a poor product nor an inferior product and my employers hired me 
knowing where my expertise was.

If you have a case of superiority to make, make it, but don't attack me with 
your assertions because I can tell you they aren't compelling.
