{ This is a late response--I haven't had a chance to read all post-April 1
 [Il Giorno dei Pesci] entries yet. If anybody else has already responded
 in this area, "never mind!" [said in my best Emily Littela voice :-)]. If
 I have guessed wrong, then at least my track record is consistent! }

Dear Andy, I think it's a really low probability that
"Garrison" actually posted that article (...but if you did, G.,
shrug off that shy person's veneer and tell us a story...).

If he did, then the listed nodes are screamingly funny and
[still] implausibly coincidental, *especially* with the given
juxtaposition:

	moscvax    - Moscow Vax
	kgbcyber   - KGB Cyber
	nsacray3   - National Security Agency (U.S.) Cray 3
		     [good taste in computers, wot?]

        stonehenge - Stonehenge; if it ain't a node, it oughta be since it
		     explains the rather mystical operation of UNIX

You might also note the posting date:

Say, "(allegra,harpo,ulysses)!alice!jj", old buddy, by any chance are you
related to either Sidd Finch or George Plimpton? :-)
