I am SHOCKED and OFFENDED at this flagrant and irresponsible posting
on comp.cad.cadence by their evil arch-rival software competitor: SYNOPSYS!

And, worst yet, it's something from their marketting department!

Does Synopsys have no respect for Cadence's software tools?

The next thing you know, you'll have that joker posting notices again on
comp.cad.cadence for Synopsys users to join the E-mail Synopsys User Group!

Something's gotta be done!  <chuckle chuckle>
