| 99.2 | A constructive reply? | RDGE00::RUSSELL | Every which way but home | Tue Dec 08 1987 14:14 | 7 | 
|  |     Why not ring Jerry or Shaun, and get *action* rather than just
    placing thge moan here?
    
    Or even ring x 6060 and log it with IS Ops?

    Coz I've forwarded the notes direct to Jerry using mail.  He does
    read that I presume!

|  |     
    How about you fixing it then!!??
    
    I did try phoning Jerry, you know BT style, but no one could be
    bothered to answer.

|  |     This problem does not seem to be confined to VAX's. 
    
    The downstairs coffee machine is also about 8 minutes slow
    
    ( Either that or someone had left 10 pounds 19p in the machine at
      10:27 this morning :-)  )

|  | 	Dear clockwatchers of East Cheam,
    
    		If an incorrect system time is causing you a problem
    i.e. causing inefficiency in the work that you do for Digital, then
    by all means phone system management/leave notes/mail me and I will
    do my best to solve your problem for you.
    
    		But a) a notes conference is the wrong place for your
    moans and b) there's llareggub I can do if I'm not in the building.

| 99.8 | I ain't no Dylan! | FOOT::SMITH_I | Fast as a Mamba, Brave as a Lion! | Mon Dec 14 1987 16:11 | 9 | 
|  |     
    Lay off Jerry, How was I to know you weren't in the building?????
    Also, whats wrong with putting an entry in the notesfile?  If, as
    I did, I send you mail and you're not in, no one will see the problem
    and correct it, if on the other hand I post a note, ONE member of
    the system management team should see it, shouldn't they?
    
    Regards,
    Ian

|  |     1) See note 99.2
    2) If the phone wasn't answered, then try again later or leave a
    message with Acre Road Reception (extension 23). System managers
    are (relatively) human - not automatons to be dictated to.

| 99.10 | Don't be so defensive, no one's criticising | FOOT::SMITH_I | Fast as a Mamba, Brave as a Lion! | Tue Dec 15 1987 12:57 | 17 | 
|  |     
    "System managers are (relatively) human"  -  With this I agree.
    
    "not automatons to be dictated to."  -  Who's dictating?
    
    WHY is this notesfile the wrong place to post problems?  Its called
    the System Management notesfile after all, isn't an incorrect time
    a System Management problem?  One further point I would like to
    make is that I posted the note describing the problem ONCE, I did
    not, and I could have done, get all uppity about the fact that it
    took a long time to sort the problem out once it had been reported!
    
    While I'm on, and this is bouond to cause a livid response...
    
    The CHEST is currently 4 minutes behind FOOT, system time that is!
