    less well-known is this... Never mention to DM an error or a
    possible feature in Synchonet.

    Is DM Sicilian?

    From the name of his BBS (and his last name), I would have thought DM
    is of German lineage. :P

    It was a "Princess Bride" reference, I thought the "land war in Asia" line
    was a reference.

    I was on the Apache web server mailing list a long time ago. We did the
    usual trading of TPB references, and the listmaster allowed it to continue, saying while it was off-topic, a Pricess Bride reference was a sign of good character.

    His email address? rous@apache.org.


    ... No appropriate tagline.

    "As you wish." was a favorite line I'd tell my boss when I was like 19. It made her happy. =)
