One of your students came to our campus and couldn't do anything, because what he thought was VMS was all .COMs and such that you folks had on your systems.

I for one find all of the messages below, plus all the other recent messages on this topic, a real waste of my time, and I wish people would stop broadcasting this crap to the hundreds (thousands?) of people on this mailing list. The volume on this list is heavy enough without adding all this drivel.
