USENIX incompetence

I am not suggesting defending or accusing Usenix, but, I have seen tapes
that look 'backwards' and were NOT. If I recall, Scotch 'Blackwatch' tape
is of this class. The general rule that I follow is to try to load the
tape. If it turns out that the tape they sent you was GOOD, won't you feel
kind of silly? I sure would. Did you even try to load the tape? I sure would
have, prior to 'flaming'. Best to be sure, I figure. If on the slight
chance it is bad (Usenix wouldn't have any reason to 'delay' distribution
would it?), then file your 'lamentations'.
Made the same mistake myself,
Larry Landis
