That's what Wirt said, too.

Although I'd prefer to see more references to "HP 3000" instead of just
"HP", and I'm assuming he meant "our organization", I like what Denys said.

Good!

I wonder...  what percentage of comp.sys.hp.hpux readers are Interex members?

Because if you don't, and if Janet Sharp doesn't, there won't be even the
remains of what we used to have ... an HP 3000 users group.

That's why, despite my annoyance at your misplaced "yes" vote, I'd still
rather have you on the board.

My recommendations: Janet Sharp and Denys Beauchemin.

(I'd push for Wirt, but I want a *lot* of new features and bug fixes
in QCTerm first! :)
