Doc ---
I, and everyone (well, almost!) can understand your anger, but
whatever happens, don't leave us!
Whenever I'm looking for info on a possible deal, whether I'm the
buyer or seller, I always kept the details about the other parties an
locations quiet for just this reason. It always made me feel a little bad,
not quite honest, that I shouldn't do that. But every time I hear about this
kind of crap, it gets easier for next time. Shouldn't be that way, not among
friends.
As for the culprit, since it was an offense against Doc, it's up to
him as to whether or not the name should be revealed. I trust he'll come up
with appropriate revenge.
Personally, I'd drop some hints, then the name, and watch the f***er
fry in the ensuing flame war. But that's just me.

Y'all,
I posted a couple of days ago with questions concerning the value of,
and locating info for, a PDP11/93, for which I'm negotiating . I got
some good responses on-list, and a couple of very helpful suggestions
off-list.
And today, one enterprising soul, a long-standing list subscriber,
found MDR's website from my email address. He both emailed and called
my boss today trying to buy the machine out from under me...
