- And lo, Claudio.Terrorist@ed.ac.uk (ObTerrorist) spake unto the masses saying:

- Hah! You should go into politics. Why? I see a distinct resemblance between
- a politician saying...
-
- "I'm resigning so that I can spend more time with my family"
-
- ...when he means...
-
- "I'm resigning because I in fact have *two* families, neither of which knew
- about the other until very recently."
-
- ...and Claudio's...
-
- "I'm stopping reading alt.peeves because of various high-minded ideas such
- as working, getting back to international terrorism and getting a life."
-
- ...when the truth is in fact...
-
- "I'm stopping reading news because the newsreader at HP where I'm working
- at the moment is *really lousy* and I can't reasonably telnet back to
- Edinburgh to read it there because the line is so bad the round trip is 19
- seconds."
-
- So while I would expect him to disappear for the time being, he'll probably
- be back in September when the 19 second delay of telnetting in from Bristol
- is replaced by the 10 second delay we normally experience when trying to do
- anything here at Edinburgh.
