What? Only professional reputation. However the purpose of a magazine is to distribute text [etc]. See somebody's previous network message on tests used to determine legal standing. In this case the editorial has merely been reproduced on a relatively unfriendly medium [ie the network]. Dvorak and "DEC Professional" are living in a dream world if they expect their words to reach only friendly ears [the captive readership] or conversely: if they expect that their readership be only subjected to pro-VMS opinion.
