Hi, All,

A few days ago, I got this note from a user I've known for years and trust;
but it is one person's opinion.  If you're involved with the Cadence User
Group (either directly or indirectly), I'd love to hear your thoughts on
the recent management changes it has undergone.  Is it still a user's group
or is it now a Cadence controlled group?  Please respond.
