Nope, I dont think it's there. Did find a whole lot of interesting stuff
looking for it though! I haven't lost any data since going Linux so I
have a considerable archive of digital stuff. I found the original post
from COLA for instance, and it was kinda funny. I posted a `man jason`
man page, and just plonked the people who thought it was stupid. I like
a sense of humor :).

Oh, by the way, I let the fortune proggie write my sig file. I may not
be in line with what I think.
