It was an April Fools joke.

I didn't want to make it completely obvious, so I hid some goodies in
the header lines.  Witness:

The guru number means "Bogus Exception."  The Task ID is hex for HAHA.

Loof Lirpa is a satanic backwards message.

A quick grep through talk.bizzare would turn up no amiga.tech conspiracy.

Actually, the comp.sys.amiga.tech group will pass with flying colors,
almost 200 votes.  Expect the final tally in a couple of days.

Kinda takes the fun out when you have to explain it.
Forgive me for being subtle.  Flames by email please.
