Hey Christian Adams.
Is there an EMC-specific mailing list we can all join and be obnoxious on? Please?

Otherwise please alter how you frame your contributions so they're less irritating to read. I find that you're coming across with a very arrogant tone which, I'm sorry to say, precludes my giving you, or your company, much credence.
The same comes across in EMC marketing and interviews in the press so perhaps it's one of those go-get-'em, can-do, East coast culture things.
It's one of the reasons I enjoy talking to NetApp folk - they're almost always willing to listen rather than butting in, and almost always very considered in their replies and statements.
Loved your EMC bit, /Christian Adams EMC
