Now, now, Gerard, the inveterate grizzled veterans of comp.os.vms have
been keeping watch for a decade or more, they've seen it all and
discussed it all, over and over, reiterations on the announcement of the
next chapter of major disappointment, chapter after chapter after chapter.

Rage, anger, frustration, grief, sorrow, fatigue, rage fatigue, anger
fatigue, sorrow and grief fatigue, even fatigue fatigue may have been
experienced; some survival cynicism air-bages may also have inflated.

Some, but not all, (I am not really thinking of anyone in particular)
may have enchanted themselves, into a funk of apparent disempowerment,
that there is nothing that can be done about the situation. It is just a
bad-habit they have got into, if such comp.os.vms collegiates exist,
they can talking their way, enchant their way out of that funk of
apparent disempowerment, or perhaps they can be talked out of it,
patiently and persistently.

One thing is for certain, funked up or funked over, comp.os.vms is one
of the greatest, if not the greatest concentration of decades of
man-years experience of VMS on the Internet; no one lurks here or
participates here, if they do not give a damn about VMS.
