SubjectRe: [OT] Our 'friend' Jeff V. Merkey

Thank God, I was wondering when the guys with machine guns were going to
show up. With the situation in Utah Valley with Novell, I have to
wonder sometimes. This place really is the Wild West. When I saw your
post this morning, I assumed Christmas Island had not declared war on
me. Andy McCullough is back on his chain -- everything is stopped.

Back to the 2.3 VFS Coding. If I don't get this done, Alan is going to
string me up.

Nice to know I mde a new friend.

Your friend,

Jeff
