So, Gazza, perhaps you could enlighten us and let us know exactly *which*
concept or concepts you cognitized (I assume American's use this, as they
are so stupid they have to verbize every noun they find) to come up with this
beautiful effort?

Amateurs.  My high school's claim to fame is that I went there.

Aha! Another victim of the new version of inews.  Cut down to four lines,
but we only get the last four, not the first.  My zoology is not that hot,
so I am unable to recognise the animal in center, looks like a hippo
perhaps, as seen from the rear.  Why he has to be so tacky as to show

Eight lines, compartmented so the Internet address doesn't
contaminate the pure inscrutability of the FutureNet address (or is
it addresses? On the one hand, why would Darrin need twelve
addresses? OTOH, why wouuld FutureNet require all that for ONE
address?)

Best feature: Really simple border SCREWED UP! Yes, either the
bottom two brackets were accidental, or the underlines somehow got
moved, or . . . dare I say it? . . . or there's another batch of
addresses that somehow got cut off.

And, of course, the whole post was radically misplaced.

Much as I like "The Princess Bride" (still looking for a replacement copy of
the book), this is really too much.  Lets get out the old SigCompactor
(mine's written in Ada, which is why the name looks like that):

1st Pass - remove unnecessary whitespace:

Devan F. Dewey, Senior Systems Analyst, CenterLine Software, 10 Fawcett
Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.  dewey@centerline.com.  "Leme esplain - no dere
is too much.  Leme sum up." - Inigo Montoya

Second Pass - remove company address because nobody gives a fuck, and remove
the email address because it's in the header:

Devan F. Dewey, Senior Systems Analyst
"Leme esplain - no dere is too much.  Leme sum up." - Inigo Montoya

Much nicer.
