In point of fact, if it were not for the DEC employees who are involved
with DECUS, both as members of the DECUS staff, and as counterparts to
the various SIGs, and those who contribute as speakers and staffing the
exhibit floor, there would be no DCS, no symposium no DECUS and nothing for you
to be grousing about would there?  If you have some suggestion as to how
DECUS could exhist without any ties to DEC, I know that I would be
interested, as would the Board and the Management council, as would
Digital.
