Ten years now;  since I was an active participant at Boston -
1990:  And until Stan's above I *never knew* how totally over
the line and egregious Sevcik's offense was...  Since he has
left the company guess I don't get to indulge in the appropriate
follow up;  i.e.:  Publicly demand that he resign or be fired for
flat-out lying about a substantive issue....
