That's impossible, you can't have sent it on 12-27-02! I had to set up
this email system on an old 80386, and the BIOS *clearly* says that it's
currently 12-31-99.

Good memory. It's a radio-amateur Ham code for "goodbye". There's also
Hamming Code, which I'll leave to Levine. The "lid" portion is also
Ham-speak, and it has _nothing_ to do with Haight-Ashbury.

The only Ham that I know of who monitors this list is Steve Carter. He
hates it when people tie up the ham radio bands with incessant mindless
yacking, and he *also* hates it when people post to mail lists with
incessant mindless yacking.

So Steve Carter, this is for you: yack yack yack yack yack yack yack
yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack
yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack
yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack
yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack
yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack
yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack
yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack yack
