To Whom it May Concern

I, Robert Nicholas McLean, wish to inform all and sundry that I, as with other members of the students computer society have, from time to time, assisted various members of the University staff and students with their computing interests, since such assistance is an avowed intention of the computer society, if not of the University itself. This sort of notice should, of course, be unnecessary but it has come to my attention that certain persons are apparently incapable of comprehending such a relationship of mutual exchange in that they have been snooping around various people disc files in the hope of finding evidence that could be used against us.

Such behaviours is especially offensive because the supposed miscreants have not had an opportunity to explain the "evidence" indicting them as it has been kep for private comment. This kind of back stabbing is more suited to a police state or a jungle rather than to a University and I hope that this declaration will prevent any future exercises in futility. '
