Jan-Erik it has always a pleasure to meet you, in Sweeden, c.o.v. and 
elsewhere on the net.

My question: if users club like in France speak on only little issues 
which will be sorted anyway, if c.o.v. is not a place where serious 
issues can be sorted, imagine there are serious issues, where can they 
be sorted?

My opinion - and it not just from today -: VMS ecosystem is lacking real 
places where, if there exists some issue, it can be seriously discuted 
and evaluated. I know all of us have white hair, but it seems we are a 
little bit childish about how the decisions can be made in an ecosystem. 
Even Big Blue has ears.

Typically 80s? :)
