Open Season on Open Source? (heh)

[Scott Prive]

There's a big hot-air front over Utah that is detouring lots of stormy
weather for the East coast. It finally rains out here as much as it
does -your- way.

Please let me know if you will reconsider attending a BLU meeting.... I *do*
think the discguise of suspenders, pillow under the shirt, and fake-beard
will work... especially since Richard is out of town. Trust me on this one,
no one from BLU your real identity..

PS - nice random-Yahoo email generator. It's getting harder for for regular
people to mass-spam using scripts, since the webmail signup process includes
typeing in screen images that usually can't be OCR'd. Looks like you have
support for this... but I trust your budget is coming from Balmer, and not
the 'Technical' side of the company..?
