<sigh> Your trimming of context makes it look like I was serious.  And
your response sounds as if you thought I was.  Hm...

Guess I didn't use enough smilies.  Or did you hit the F-key before you
reached them?  Maybe three smilies wasn't sufficient for a really good
silly-plot-insinuation-with-overtones-of-free-software-being-overtaken-
by-commercial-interests.  I thought it was far-fetched enough that
the silliness would be readily apparent.

How about this:   ;-)

I probably should have written:
;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  
I'm :-) almost :-) beginning :-) to :-) wonder :-) whether :-) there's
:-) a :-) plot :-) afoot :-).  We've :-) seen :-) Bostic :-) provide
:-) detailed :-) information :-) about :-) how :-) to :-) order :-)
from :-) O'Reilly :-), and :-) Vixie :-) gave :-) a :-) pointer :-) to
:-) the :-) info.  ;-)
;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  


That should be clear enough...  ;-)
