Hi Christopher,

	I'm sorry to hear that. It has been a CS-FSLUG tradition since the  
beginning. Every year the list has been acquired by someone. AOL  
bought it the first year, I believe. Another year, I went to work for  
Red Hat.

	One of my big goals in life is not to take myself too seriously, if  
you haven't already guessed that. :-)

	How so?

	I appreciate the offer of a character reference. I would seriously  
doubt Google cares in the least. Google is one of the biggest  
tricksters of the day (c.f. Google Romance, which I referenced in my  
announcement -- they had it up, at least yesterday, at  
romance.google.com. Really.). It's in the same vein as the old April  
Fools joke wherein Microsoft bought the Catholic Church.
