Can't make this stuff up, folks. What follows is the verbatim text of an email I received today:
He that would live in peace schadows at ease, must not speak all he
knows nor judge all he sees.

Umm... say what now? Spammers are just getting too damn lazy. Getting this in a message from "hilarius stewart Walsh" isn't exactly going to make me rush
to open the attatchment that came with it. Interesting composition, though. The first sentence sounds almost like a fortune cookie, and the rest sounds like
a Lewis Carroll story. I'm really looking forward to learning more about bewormed lutjanuses, or zanzotto moutons, and if that fails I can always just go back
to lurking in the peace schadows.
If you've been wondering about the forum (and I know most of you haven't), it died. I'm working on either reviving it, or installing a new one. Just keep
checking back and it'll show up eventually. If anyone is actually inconvenienced, I'm sorry.
