Technical and Steering Committees, re-mailed

["Scott E. Fahlman" <Fahlman@C.CS.CMU.EDU>]

It's a reasonable heuristic to assume that everything a sales/marketing
person says at a trade show is a lie until proven otherwise.  It's not
that they are bad people, it's just that they have no idea what is
really going on, and when they make up something it tends to be wildly
self-serving. 

By the way, that's one reason I'm a little afraid of any promise that
the marketing types won't advertise these committee memberships -- who
among us can really control what those guys say?
