AW: [ RadSafe ] criminal action: WG: Casper Sun

[Franz Schönhofer]

RADSAFErs,

I have been flamed recently on a certain topic, on the other hand I
received very positive replies. I hope that this has now settled
somehow. 

But I think it is really necessary to forward that I have been very
surprised by an uncredible attack at the RADSAFE list, issued by a
person whom I do not know and who never has before commented on RADSAFE.
"Dietmar Muehlboeck". He obviously claims to know about Austrian
regulations etc. That he does not know that MR iR means "Ministerialrat
im Ruhestand" and not "Ministerialrat in Ruhe" is of no concern to me. I
am not proud of being "Ministerialrat", but I may put forward that it is
not at all describing a mid-level retired public servant: It is the
second highest hierarchical degree in a ministry. After retirement I am
extremely active in all kind of standardisation, visit conferences since
years on my private money, very often being a member of the scientific
committee, have participated in national, European and IAEA projects and
I am planning ahead of at least two years.   

What bothers me most of all is that he called me (but not excluding
others) as being "quite old" and not being "productive", "around 65
years old" being an "old man". Fortunately I am quite a few years
younger. 

I have no data about the age of RADSAFE users, but from my friends in
the USA I know that many persons are working still at age 70+ because
they like their job. Obviously their companies appreciate their
contribution and do not regard them as being unproductive. I know as
well that a lot of people simply have to work until their death because
of lacking retirement money. 

I do not understand why there is no "flaming" on such a message, I would
have believed that a lot of RADSAFErs - the most valued by me - are
above 65. Really no opinion on this provocation?
