I don't know who this crank is, but he shows a huge lack of 
understanding of the VMS mindset.  We VMS enthusiasts do not download 
stuff from warez groups like script kiddies (and we know how to spell).  
We might, and do, criticize HP's and other owners' handling of VMS, but 
we seek understanding, not revolt, most of all because we know that 
there is no right to VMS and that the hobbyist programme exists merely 
because of good will.

Remember what happened to the PDP hobbyist license and why?

Maybe this Ché wannabee is actually someone intent on destroying VMS and 
hoping that someone will actually react to his nonsense.

His last revelations were posted elsewhere, on a server of not the best 
repute, but nevertheless even from there were removed, presumably due to 
some complaint.

Someone said that on the internet, no-one knows you're a dog, but in 
this case we do.  Wuff wuff!
