Indeed. But not without justification. There are some funny
goings-on out there. Why are your messages - only yours -
scrutinized by "master" before being passed on to "murphy"?
And why does master put adair's name in parenthesis as if he
didn't believe he really existed? And who is adair? And why
does he call you localhost.invalid? Funny goings-on indeed...
