the expression, I believe, is "You'd complain if you didn't get hung with a new rope."   The point being...focus on important stuff, let the trivia go,
 
 
To all the self appointed kings of the list:
 
The monday after the upgrade there were problems.  crtdspf was returning an MCH type error, license keys were invalid, users were having to respond to msgs saying "the grace period for the use of their printer would expire soon". 
 
Before the cause of the problems was identified, there was valid, non trivial concern that the ptf load, which the ibm document stated would take a minimum of 4 hrs had only taken 50 minutes. Something might have been missed, maybe we had received an incorrect cume, ...
 
The question, posed to the list leaders and everyone else was to ask what ibm bases its estimates on.
 
Now the kings make important contributions to the list. I have learned from their responses.  I wish them well, maybe a larger cubicle. Let them be assured that their role as list leaders will not be challenged.

I bet you'd complain if you got hung with a brand new rope!

Be happy.  Find a real problem.  Spend some quality time with a pretty
friend.



(Some people may not get the first line.  That's okay - I never did
either.)

good explanation of the reason for the high side estimate.

But the low side estimate still remains questionable. The cover letter said
4 to 8 hours.

Is the 4 and 8 hour figure the value for the best and worse case scenario
on
a baseline system?

ex: 4 hrs if loading cume on top of a new release on a 520, 8 hrs if
loading
on top of a prev cume on the same 520?
