I really don't care what you do here.  And you haven't come remotely 
close to earning a "dislike" status.  But if that was your goal, um, 
sorry 'bout your "failure to rank" there, m'kay?   For my previous 
comment, I'd have thought "ennui gauge" would have given the intent of 
that previous posting away.

If you're going to look for insults, you'll find them in many places; 
this is usenet, after all, and some of the insults and the trolls are 
legendary.  Monty Python has nothing on this place.  But insults or 
establishing dislike is not my intent.

GUEST?  That works for a while, and then a shared username usually 
gets, um, interesting.

There's a (free) user registration system for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS 
I64, but your OpenVMS Alpha version is older than the oldest version 
(V7.3-1) that software is built for.  In any case, the NEWUSER 
registration system is available for download here:

Do what you want with this box.  Whether you treat your Jensen server 
as "art" or as a "tool" or as a "ginormous clay pigeon skeet target" is 
entirely your choice.

And if you think a discussion of a Jensen running V6.2 is off-topic for 
c.o.v., well, either hang around for a while longer, or check the 
archives.

And for confirmation: :-)
