Actually, with all of the HP Team Members subscribed here, either contributing
or lurking, and the fact that HP Management DOES see this material, it seems to
me that HP does recognize HP3000-L/comp.sys.hp.mpe as a legitimate users group,
albeit an electronic one.

Engineers, Managers, Executives from CSY do read this material -- from
Cupertino, Palo Alto, Bangalore, Bubblegum (Germany), and all other areas of
the world.  Many enhancements and fixes get hatched here - which again, makes
this a legitimate and recognized venue :)

Cheers,
Joe
