4816.0. "Where will we be aged 65?" by VIVIAN::F_MCANDREW () Fri Aug 30 1996 22:05

    This is the first time I have looked in this notesfile and I find
    the note 'Where will we be aged 65' is write locked.
    
    I selected the note as it looked the most interesting.
    
    I am surprised people objected to it.
    
    A note 'Who is the current Project manager of PATIS' went unchallanged.

4816.1normally a RON, but...SNOFS1::WILLIAMSJOHNSat Aug 31 1996 02:099
    ...I must agree with .0.  I consider the action of write-locking the topic
    to be high-handed and arbitrary in the extreme.
    
    The way we work, and lose work, in Digital has a profound effect on
    which category we end up in - and the knowledge of the statistics could
    profoundly affect the way we continue (or not) to work in Digital.
    
    In any event, the original topic was, IMHO, at least as relevant, and
    much more interesting than many of the entries in this conference.

As the author of note 4812, I certainly agree with the sentiments stated in 
this note. However, over the years I have learned to live with the arbitrary
decisions of our illustrious moderators.

4816.5Still confused.....??VIVIAN::F_MCANDREWFri Sep 06 1996 22:4411
    I'm still very confused.
    
    As a new user of notes I fail to understand wht notes such as 'Is
    DECmodel still alive' are allowed in this conference.
    
    My understanding is that this notesfile is about issues relating to
    to working at digital.
    
    What on earth has DECmodel got to do with this subject?
    
    
4816.6QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centSun Sep 08 1996 21:4812
    You ask a good question.
    
    The reason such questions are allowed is that we have recognized that,
    given the lack of any corporate information infastructure, that this
    conference serves the community as a place to get pointers to
    information about Digital products.  In many cases, the notes are
    deleted soon after the questions are answered (or directions given.)
    
    For those who can't find an appropriate notesfile (it's not always
    obvious), DIGITAL serves as a backup.
