Hey Gene! They can't keep a good man down! Did Mandrake finally push up 
the lilies??

Of course I am not happy with the Blackhats defining security, but if it 
weren't for them doing their "job" no one else would. I am jealous that 
I don't have their brain power. Getting too old, missing a limb and 
waiting for a triple-bypass. I need some stem cells. Glad to see you 
here, Gene. :) Ric
