Surprise, Denys ... HP & Interex have already conspired to remove the
Management Roundtable ... we certainly didn't have a real one in 1997,
and we haven't had one that's fulfilled its promises to the users
(to answer all questions) for *YEARS*.

Looks like the only people who thought we might have had a Management
Roundtable were the real losers: us, the users.
