Mr. Green, I think you're wrong. Maybe you spotted a "Debian" in the middle of
the Received: lines and thought we did it. But please, don't accuse us of
industrial sabotage. Our firm has had zero profit last year (just like every
other year, by the way; bad luck or what?) so I guess we won't be able to pay
you much. You can have some of our shares, though. Thank you.
On a serious side note, before calling the FBI, stop by a library and buy
yourself some books, a few HOWTO's on the 'net for free even. It won't take
long.
