	Buck Godot recently posted a letter that had appeared in Sour Grapes 
	Magazette (an incredibly appropriate name).   The letter contained 
	some facts and lots of insinuation and innuendo. i.e.:
	
	    Thomas Pallister and Edward Ateyeh are operating under
	    the names Thomas Morgan and Edward Taylor. 
	    
	    Clinton Tomlinson is possibly involved in insider trading.

	Mr. Godot then asks the question, does anyone know how to prove or
	disprove these accusations?  Which is, of course, the point of this
	posting.
 
	Yes, Mr. Ateyeh and Mr. Pallister do go by the names Mr. Taylor 
	and Mr. Morgan for the reason that the latter set of names are 
	easier for Americans to remember and pronounce.  Many of the 
	people reading this that come from non-anglican ancestry and who 
	live in the United States have ancestors who changed their family 
	name for the same reason.

	
        Yes, Mr. Tomlinson is a licensed securities dealer, and while it is
	POSSIBLE that he is engaging in insider trading, he simply isn't 
	doing so.  Pencom is privately held and Mr. Tomlinson is only licensed
	for trading mutual funds.  Besides, his fellow employees don't think
	he is smart enough.  (just kidding Clint -)	
		
	One final point.  The letter was signed "Simon Templar" a fictional
	character also known as "the Saint".  The original Simon Templar, 
	even portrayed as a roguish burglar and ladies man,  displayed
	higher ethics than this latest incarnation.
	
	
		Rogers Hellman.  Yes, I do work for Pencom, but with 10+
		years of Unix experience, I don't worry about employment.
		In this case I do NOT speak for my employer, only in his
		behalf.
