Here's what my top secret JMonroy decoder ring says [BTW, for just $19.95 plus shipping, you too can have a Jmonroy decoder ring... It'll end all those headaches caused by trying to figure out what on earth JMonroy tried to say by replacing each of JMonroy's words with an equivalent amount of whitespace <or in this case, maybe blackspace, as in the black hole that JMonroy's mind is>]: "Noone has seen version 1.0 of 386BSD, so maybe if I tell some people that Bill Jolitz owns an old SystemPro, they'll think that someday, Bill might allow some MP code to see the light of day... But little do the fools know that the machine is actually used as a NetWare server by the wonderful folks at some branch of UC that Bill was once associated with [Hey, I didn't lie, it really is at his site]" This JMonroy transcription into English has been brought to you by the number sqrt(-1), the letter sigma, and the second strain deviator.
