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

Well, having lived in Boston for four years, I can tell you, it has nothing to do with the perceived "go-get-'em, can-do, East coast culture things."
It's all due to the Yankees crushing the Red Sox year after year after year.
You have no idea what that does to a person's psyche.
And don't even get me started on the Celtics...
