I think the key is to only post what is newsworthy and avoid anthing that's
fluff.  Hearing that DEC is going to take Ultrix to OSF is probably newworthy,
heare Ken Olson comment on the state of the makets probably isn't.

I case you guys (DEC) don't want to blow your own horn too much, I don't have
problems posting some of the stuff as a third party, as long as the info is
pretty obviouly free of distribution restrictions.
