So do I. =)
On the other listserv I'm on last Christmas we even
had somebody tell us all we were going to hell if we
weren't Christians and would burn eternally, as part
of his Merry Christmas greeting. I replied telling
him to stuff it and got chided by the list moderators.

I agree that GNU is Pretty Good, though.

Naah, I think they just took "GNU Privacy Guard" and
initialed it GPG as a take-off on PGP.
That other stuff is just a coincidince.
Right now I'm on two listservs, one for a collectible
card game, and then this one. Did you know
ccg(collectible card game) backwards is gcc (GNU C
compiler)? Just something I noticed.

Darn, this means I can't use my normal procedure of
citing only the text in the message I reply to.
Because your email is copyrighted and LGPLed I have to
attach your name to it.
