Our "know how" Your know-how does not include the fact that advertising on Usenet is frowned upon, heavily. And that SHOUTING IN THE SUBJECT LINE is something that script-kiddies and foaming-at-the-mouth fanatics do. This is a discussion forum, not an advertising medium. There is nothing top-notch about the little stunt you just pulled. If you want to put out press releases, contact Reuters, not newsgroups for discussion of computer storage architecture. Let me tell you a little fable. Once upon a time, there used to be a storage systems company called "Storage Computer" (their ticker symbol was SOS). They claimed to have invented RAID-5, and even managed to get a patent on it (which they lost again after a lawsuit, the judge said something like "the patent is fraudulent on the face of it"). They also claimed to have implemented RAID-7, in spite of the fact that only RAID levels 1...6 were ever described on standarized. But their worst offense was incessant advertising on comp.os.vms and comp.arch.storage. Many times, other regulars of these discussions forums contacted Storage Computer's CEO (the famous Ted Goodlander), and complained. Storage Computer went through marketing/sales guys like there was no tomorrow. Now they are nearly completely dead, having lost many millions of $$$, and having been delisted. And the moral of the story is: This is what you get for being dishonest and loud-mouthed. In this spirit: Dear CEO of Rocket Division software, please fire your marketing/sales guys, before they drag the rest of your company down. -- The address in the header is invalid for obvious reasons. Please reconstruct the address from the information below (look for _). Ralph Becker-Szendy |
