Peter,
I'm not even sure what you're trying to say.
No one ever said anything about consultants. When you have a problem ...
especially a serious one like the one you
describe ... you open up a case with IBM and find out what it takes to fix it!
Peter ... several people on this newsgroup have offered to help get this
escalated for you ... but you have not
provided any additional information. Please don't make it sound like IBM has
not listened to you or isn't willing to
do anything about this.
I am very sorry ... but as I said ... I am going to have to assume that this
didn't really happen. This will be my
last post responding to you, unless you can provide some more details and/or
more information.
