The active word being "past". In a recent HP email I've received, it was
said that I'm not being professional when complaining about the tardiness
of the patch to correct the OpenVMS V8.4 VMSINSTAL issue.

Are you serious ? As in you were literally called unprofessional for
daring to complain about an outstanding issue ?

Was the person a low-level worker, or a senior HP person ?

I'd like to hear what the remaining HP employees here think about this.

Personally, if this had happened to me, I would have already filed a
complaint with HP.

Now, we realy don't know what actualy happend.
One need the full conversation (actualy including any
non-mail conversation, if any) to be able to tell if
this was "unprofessional" or not.

Maybe the whole issue simply was unprofessional
handled by VAXman, who knows...

Oh yeah, I know how that goes. I was once told I was arrogant. When
I said "but I was right and he was wrong" the other person said, "Yeah,
that's being arrogant." Expecting someone to deliver on a product on
anything but their own terms is probably the definition of "unprofessional".

Arrogant? There nothing wrong with that. I'm arrogant! And fully justified!!
