Bob, I think your inflammatory accusation of "a lie" is based on a misreading.
I belive Sybrand is saying that he won't be surprised if _Oracle_ desupports
VMS soon, and is saying nothing about _HP_ desupporting VMS. So your response
about what the high ups at HP says is irrelevant. (And, though I hate to say
it as a VMS fan, not necessarily any more trustworthy than what high ups said
about their commitment to Alpha.)
