          Truth:
          Some twunt with far too much access to the live machine noticed we were running a little over 90% on system storage. Decided to run RCLSTG command which them bought the system to it's knees, with users unable to sign in and the interactive subsystem crapping out on a regular basis.

          Lies told to users:
          We don't know what's happening, but the machine is running really slow today. We've called IBM and they're looking into it. Try not to log out as you may not get back in again.
