   Actually, I didn't read it that way.  Which newsgroup do you mean by the   
   way?   
      
   It started off as a "merits" debate but pretty quickly, from an Informix   
   newsgroup perspective anyway, moved into a debate about the extent to which   
   IBM is likely to be successful in retaining the Informix users who decide to   
   abandon Informix.  For sure some strong views have been expressed about IBM   
   as a company, and its database strategy, but is that so bad?
