RE: I haven't forgotten you

>>> Mark Shoulson has been a suprise help.  He seems REALLY to be a nice guy.
>Yes - I'd have said the same about d'Armond (well I do), except for some
>of his recent reaction.  

Have you read any of his responses.  Besides using "questionable" grammar,  
(especially the omission of -Daq).  He's wrong about HOW the list works.  The 
BEGINNING grammarian does not usually correct ALL messages and as long as it 
isn't KLBC (or obvious beginner's) there should be nothing wrong with US 
pointing out obvious errors.  People rely on these people to be experts.  YES 
when we get in a hurry we make mistakes.  It's only HUMAN.  Unless we point 
these out (which other's don't seem to mind on my stuff) people will think 
it's OK.

The man is spiteful, vengful, and has a misplaced sense of "superiority".  
I'll admit he's good, but his ego is severly overly inflated (without good 
cause I'd estimate.)

I agree that Glen did some stupid things, but "let him who is without sin cast 
the first stone."  This list and other's have run GLEN through the mud.  And 
all behind his back because he doesn't have a computer, he isn't privy to what 
goes on (something that Holtej can't seem to get through his thick head even 
after it was mention over and over again.)  I don't really like being angry at 
the man, but he is WAY too caught up in his jealousy and bitterness it's 
frustrating.

I would just like to IGNORE him, but you and others seem to think someone from 
the ILS should deal with him.  I offered to HELP Glen, not "RUN" the ILS.  
I've inherited more work and headaches.  (SIGH) I like Glen and I really hate 
to see all his GOOD work lost because he has to make a living in some remote 
area of Siberia.  Mostly I feel bad for his wife who is unfortunitely stuck 
with it as well.  Maryse is a really nice person and really out of her league 
with KLINGON (and sometimes so am I. ) 

>>>Hope everything is going well with you.  I'm excited about starting my new 
job 
>>>on Monday.
>I guess I didn't know you had made a switch?  Where?!  Congratulations and
>good luck!  IT is just a year for me and I'm *GLAD* I did it!!

Yeah, I start at SuperValu on Monday -- Technical Analyst is my title.  They 
offered me almost $8000 more a year than Electronic Data Systems was willing 
to pay me.  Their stupid "Pay per value" policy doesn't work if their 
management people don't take the time to KNOW what their employees are doing.  
Over the last three or four years all the really GOOD people have left and on 
the average were offered $8000 to $10,000 above their EDS salary.  I was 
suckered into the EDS CULTURE for a long time.  Their ideas and "preaching" 
are fantastic.  However they don't practice what the preach (at least on the 
Account levels.)  Our customer has always supported me and they really like 
me.  They are saddened that I left, but they know that it probably the best 
for me.  I'd been there almost 10 years (May 17 would have been my 10 yr. 
anniversary.)

>>>Today was harder than I thought saying goodbye to everyone.  I 
>>>didn't think I'd be so sad.
>It can be that.

I'm really a loner.  But until everyone came for the lunches. (I had four in 
the last week.  I didn't know there were so many people who knew me, much less 
LIKED me.)  I'm still rather down over it all.  Just got to keep thinking 
OPPORTUNITY!

Again thanks for your support.  It's nice to see so many people that stand 
with Glen -- It may not be OPENLY, but it's there.
  

P.S.
Have you seen the letter from Glen where he addresses the "bad PR".  He's sent 
it to most of the ILS people I believe.
