Did Jesus charge his disciples a subscription fee?...
I am not really sure. I guess you'd have to "believe" he didn't right?

Just to be clear, did you get banned or something, or you're just on a holy crusade to help P99 make money?

Funny story, this large corporation I contracted for had a bunch of (really) old databases lying around on ancient mainframe servers (like COBOL old). They were taking up a lot of space, and cluttering up the place.

So I disabled them. The ones that were actually in use we heard about pretty quick, they got turned back on. The rest got deleted and subsequently thrown out. Sure I could have poured over the minutiae in every log file on so many servers (which would have meant writing COBOL [You must be logged in to view images.

(In this analogy the servers are RMTers, Throndor is the annoying HR person, and I am god wielding the ban hammer of justice)

Yea I work in IT and when I read that, I was shocked. I would be fired or given a written warning if I went ahead and did that without approvals. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yea that's why us consultants get paid the big bucks, lol. Oh, wasn't my random idea, directive to "clean things up" came from a superior.
