   You've done your duty, VMS soldier, rest easy.   
      
   As a rule, the VLF do not interact with the comp.os.vms colloquy,   
   unless we feel the need, and then we wheel ourselves out of cold   
   storage - like cats and UFOs, our ways are mysterious.   
      
   However, I would like to correct a fundamental category error, and set   
   the record straight - the VLF were never VMS Hobbyists - we were VMS   
   Fanatics - with the self appointed task, duty, and mission, to prevent   
   the deletion and erasure of both VMS, and VMS mindshare.   
      
   That our activism, and releases, had derivative benefit, and utility,   
   for some in the VMS Hobbyist community, was a pleasant side-effect.   
      
   We have always had great respect for those inside DEC, Compaq, HP, and   
   now VSI, and those, outside, in the VMS community, that have   
   prosecuted the cause of, and maintained, the VMS Hobbyist programs for   
   over a quarter of a century.   
      
   Long may the VSI Hobbyist program continue.
