Sorry Ben, the karma's been assigned. Since I'm so generous though, I
thought you deserved a ton of flax scrip!

BTW, at my local bookstore, they have hard copies of the Illuminatus!
trilogy on sale for like $8. I already have the softcopy...and I don't
think I'll ever understand it. Did make me do a lot of thinking though,
which I believe was the purpose...

This is also the same Barnes & Noble that has a "civilian" reprint of the
US Army's Survival Manual, the same book used to train the various special
forces, for a mere $9US. A very odd Barnes & Noble I must say...they have
more gun-nut magazines (like Soldier of Fortune) than any other bookstore
I've been to, and I've been to a bunch.

Anyway, I think this thread needs to die now before the GridSec pull up in
their electron cars, LEDs flashing, semi-auto hand-carps drawn...
