Uh oh Bill, it looks like you may be in store for some trouble,
sounds like the Postal Service may have it in for you ;)
Anyways, I usually refer to people of *BSD projects their commit
bits, is it ok if I refer to you as wpaul@
(i've been know to refer to "phk" for Poul Henning Kamp (phk@) in
conversation, and mlaier@ instead of Max Laier on the pf side of
things ;))
Thanks for the evil work regardless, and watch your mail carefully
for a while :-P
Cheers,
