Fw: Hey Big Mouth Double Echo...
Double Ditto on Double Echo. I don't know about everyone else but I am beyond tired of reading DE's endless postings. I really don't understand - sure, Informix is a great product and we would all like to see a greater market share but is it worth vulgarity, rudeness, and personal attacks? I don't think so. Double Echo - I think you owe Christine an apology. Not a highly qualified apology but a real, sincere apology for your completely unacceptable, rude, and insulting statements yesterday.

Yes - well put Ben. DE rambles on, trying to sound intelligent and informed about the market, IBM, and what to do with Informix. BUT - he doesn't have the "smarts" to realize how much damage he is doing with the negative, bashing, complaining endlessly about what is happening with Informix. When you add his lack of "what is reality at IBM", the whole thing is just nauseating. I agree that he owes Christine an apology - he (again) has no idea what battles have been fought at IBM for Informix, and NOTHING about how she has or hasn't done her job to date. DE - step up, show you have some dignity, and apologize to Christine. If you can't do that, simply shut the hell up. Actually - just do that anyway. Me. Ben wrote: > Double Ditto on Double Echo.
