ask me some more questions and maybe you'll discover other things that
i don't know!  if you can name three other things that i don't know by
midnight tonight, you'll win a free Ginsu Knife!

it seems to me that some readers fail to understand Cliff's quest for
the Cuckoo hacker, yet they persist in insulting it.

i asked many questions of the bitnet person.  i'd like to learn who s/he
is and where s/he comes from in the physical sense.  this is yet
another thing that i don't know, Mr. Lindahl!  add it to the long list...

i also asked you, Mr. Lindahl, where to find a Bitnet nodelist,
but you replied with insulting email.  whatever.  ca va.

may peace and ethics be with you all in the electronic frontier and beyond.
