If I don't respond to your email, don't hate me:

I am drowning in SPAM!
This is a hobby web site I run in my spare time.
I respond to very few technical questions which are not related to my MVS freeware or free MVS advice.
Feel free to email me but don't get upset if I don't have the time to research your question and respond. This is not a paid service.
Not only is it a DOG EAT DOG world. It's a DOG DOESN'T RETURN OTHER DOG'S EMAIL world.
You will want to use Internet resources that provide answers to your questions, for example: if you have a Rexx question, ask it on the comp.lang.rexx newsgroup. If you have a setup issue with IBM's SMTP, ask IBM.
People often send in questions and never send me sample Flower box from their system so I'm unmotivated to respond.

That said, I truly like to hear from web surfers who find this site beneficial. Also please don't hesitate to send me email about spelling errors, technical errors, broken links, etc. All email sent to www.PlanetMVS.com becomes trapped in the orbit of Planet MVS.
