The VLF consider the loss of any hobbyist, commercial, or
institutional, VAX/VMS, or AXP/VMS, shops to be a profound tragedy -
carry on.

The remedy:

(The PasteBin text snippet website benchmarks "safe to visit")

The usual protocol - if you understand and/or appreciate what the VLF
do, then there is no need make commentary; if you do not understand
and/or do not appreciate what the VLF do, then remain in dignified
silence on the matter, and address your energies and attentions,
instead, to navigating VSI management to enabling a thriving VMS
ecology, for seven generations to come, and then some.

Viva la VMS Mindshare!

Semper VAX; Semper AXP, Semper VMS; Semper DEC.
 
Best regards,

In VMS We Trust

PS: Another shout out and salute to Monsieur Gérard Calliet and the
team at the VMSgenerations Working Group - the VLF greatly admire
their above ground work, from afar - industry association,
institutional response, aggregate activism, in the relation to VSI is
the way to go, individual petitioning will not cut it.
