    Tek may not be discussed by *anyone* under any circumstances.
    It can only be studied on a proper checksheet in an approved 
    course.

>Would it be "verbal tech" for two class VIII auditors to discuss the
>tech amongst themselves in private?  
 
    Yes.

>To discuss cases? (I'm not talking
>about "I was auditing 'x'...", but rather "I was auditing a case, and
>he thought he had a past-life memory of...")
        
    It is not really considered good form, no.

>Is it verbal tech for two OT3's to discuss Xenu over beers?
                                              
    Yes.
    
    Someone should quote Hidden Data Line policy.
