The following is an extract from a recent posting to net.news.newsite.  
It wasn't intended to be funny, but the site id and company name
struck me as perhaps a put-on.  It seems strange that some outfit
that wants to be taken as a serious vendor of "High end office
automation products" would come up with such a corporate name and
such a site name.  But see for yourself:
