On the main VMS Web page (http://h71000.www7.hp.com/), there's a link
for "Feedback to webmaster" (http://h71000.www7.hp.com/fb_web.html). On
that page, there's a link for "product business comments"
(http://h71000.www7.hp.com/fb_business.html). It's not _that_ well
hidden, and it does say, "Please use the following form to submit
product or business questions or comments about HP OpenVMS." I'd say
that "product questions" covers bug reports and similar complaints. (I
assume that paying victims have a better path, but some old saying about
beggars and choosers does come to mind in a situation like this.)

That's one way to try to convey the seriousness of your report to the
recipients.

If the people who designed the form were serious, they might have
provided a clue as to what the "URL" field was intended for. Based on
what I've seen in this thread I can't think of anything more reasonable
than "www.disney.com" to put there!
