- Wow!!! Look! Mr. Holmes changed his .sig to only 80 columns
- after posting it only 4012 times. My heart be still.
-
- But wait... Look... what happened to his Great George McQ. quote?
- It's gone? Wait... Oh my... that's MY QUOTE there. I can't believe this!
- My quote replacing George's? I feel like I'm above the heavens looking
- down on its creator. I don't believe I could have earned this honor.
- Hmmm... quoted to some frosh. Maybe it was just typo after all.
-
- I think what he really means is that a real warlord can make a bait
- in only 81 columns, until he can make bait in only 80. Then a real warlord
- has to do 80.
-
- And what the heck.... send fascimiles to /dev/null where they can
- play with Mr. Holmes's brain and maybe a few dangling verbs. :)
