Larry's sure right about that, I think there's something at bbn.com that
tickles something at uunet.uu.net that lets something else struggle out of
the barrier from Sha-Ka-Ree.

Heck Larry, calm down, you're performing a useful service.  Around Pipe Creek
Texas you have the reputation of being the cybernetic laxative.  You bitch,
c.s.u evacuates.  I like it!  You got cron on that system? :-)

Naw, don't do it weekly, let's get together on a really creative crontab
entry.  Let's _all_ pitch in and keep Rich running for cover, Larry's stuff
works!  By golly, when he twists Rich's tail, some stuff does indeed cough
loose.  Please don't get angry Larry, you're the one who makes it work.  I
must also confess that I don't agree with a call for R$ replacement, but I
don't mind a bit supporing Larry's efforts to coax pearls out of that oyster.
Let's keep Rich and let's keep Larry Blair, they work together to the
collective benefit of the net.

There's an absence of smileys, intentional; there's also no sarcasm implied
or intended.  We've found out how to make the system work, let's use it.

I hope that no one feels upset by my remarks, I mean them as written.  It's
a near perfect Newtonian phenomenon.  Larry bitches, Rich delivers.  Works
for me!  Seriously Larry, you're doing good for the rest of us.  When you're
ready to level your sights on Rich, point 'em this way and blaze away.  When
you're cooled off enough to twist his tail, do that too.  When you do that
we all benefit.  Once again for anyone who has forgotten, I'm _not_ being
sarcastic.  Hasn't every one of us accepted a fix that just didn't seem
perfect?
