- Well, from what the horse tells me (Yep, I know the original Warlord,
- and he'll probabally be back on the net real soon now :) ), this group
- was set up as an answer to his incessant flaming .SIGs in all the other
- newsgroups, so someone with a newsgroup creator set up this newsgroup
- and managed to get it all moved in here (probabally oversimplified, but
- probabally 99% accurate....)

- I have *NO* idea why this .SIG hasn't shown up yet..... I mean it's got
- all the prerequisites.... A) really bad ASCII art of some railroad
- tracks going through a crop formation, B) a Name that FONT competition,
- c) Email address, + 2 RealLife(r) phonenumbers *AND!!!* a RealLife(r)
- snailmail address, + targeting information for an intercontinental
- balistic missile! Great!
