OK.  Thsis post is going to be a full-fledged flame.


In article <9FDCDBC6045F0001B5@EGFRCUVX>

a fellow by the name of

SABRY@SHEBIN.EG (Sabry Kotob El-Ganzory)

who apparently doesn't have the vaguest idea what VMS is all about, and who
doesn't give a damn either, and who most certainly is too fucking lazy to learn
anything about the operating system, but who's quite willing to take someones
money under the pretense of managing a VMS system

You are, and it's so fucking stupid a question I *WILL NOT* pardon you for
asking it.

Look Sabry:  SYSGEN parameters are there to allow different people to tune
their systems in different ways, capische [sp?]?  If there were *ONE* set of
values that would work in every situation, there'd be no need to have these
parameters in the first place.  SO HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT PARAMETERS YOUR SYSTEM NEEDS, BASED ONLY ON THE PARAMETERS
YOU'RE CURRENTLY USING?

As I've said before (and maybe this time some of my critics will understand my
previous reactions):  RTFM and HAFI (hire a fucking interpreter).  You don't
have the vaguest idea what you're doing.  In fact, you haven't the vaguest
idea how to figure out the vaguest idea of what you're doing.  You are totally
incompetent to manage a VAX.  Your employer should be suing you for fraud. 
You've ignored all attempts to help you.  You've shown not the slightest
ability to deal with VMS.  You've demonstrated that you are incapable of
reading the fucking manuals.  You're taking your employer's money under
fraudulent circumstances.  AND YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN THE SLIGHTEST CAPACITY FOR
LEARNING ANYTHING ABOUT THAT THE FUCK YOU'RE DOING.

READ THE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT MANUALS. ESPECIALLY THE AUTOGEN MANUAL.  AND LOOK
FOR ANOTHER JOB.

Disclaimer:  Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS.  That's what I get paid for.  My
understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
