It would be nice if DECUS had used the vehicle of Update.Daily to inform the
membership. Or to at least spell out their version of events as they occured.

I remember first hearing about the little scandal at lunch, and
then getting considerable more detail from a DEC employee (who related that
certain VMS software engineers talked into the wee hours of the morning
with the felon who wasn't allowed into DECUS proper). Go figure. Shall we
ban the VMS software engineers from DECUS due to guilt-by-association?
