Now, here we apparently have an idiot who confuses the existence with zero as a
concept with a the use of a digit to represent zero in a positional system of

understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below). So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it. If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
