[this line intentionally left filled]

     Lord, the paranoia you people at DEC seem to have!  You think that since
one person posts a *humorous* memo (disregarding the legality, for the moment)
that he is a part of some general conspiracy to undermine your integrity.
Grow up!  Every major computer company has scads of embarassing memoes 
which make the internal rounds, but do occasionally get a wider distribution.
Consider yourself proud to be in a league with Big Blue and the Deathstar,
as both of them have had their share of public embarassments.  I am not
condoning such behavior, but your response (the phrase "crazed wombat"
springs to mind) leads me to believe that their may be more this than meets
the eye.  You didn't have a hand in that little fiasco, did you?  Of course,
such information would be "strickly confidential."
