You can try to backpedal your association with these folks, but you
might want to check your own website, Trevor.  From the iSeries Network
website for the Midrange Modernization Tour:

"Explore your options for developing tomorrow's applications at this
one-of-a-kind roadshow, brought to you by the iSeries Network and
Microsoft Corporation."

I have no desire to attend a seminar sponsored by a group whose members
include vendors of iSeries migration tools, and I don't need to.  I
don't have to attend NAMBLA meetings to find them repellent, either.

How many sessions recommend WebSphere on the iSeries?  How many sessions
promote migrating Windows applications to the iSeries?  How many suggest
that new development be done on the iSeries?

I have read the Harry Potter books, and I'm certain that Ron Weasley is
the devil; otherwise he'd never stand a chance with Hermione.
