I have never seen an email like this before, from anybody. Either Rick is showing uncommon flexibility of mind, or it's a forgery from someone with a sense of humor that is beyond me. I say this without having made any attempt to keep myself informed of the context, so I don't know whether Rick's apparent self-doubts have any merit. Assuming Rick really wrote it, my opinion of him just went up a few notches. -- Tim Freeman GPG public key fingerprint ECDF 46F8 3B80 BB9E 575D 7180 76DF FE00 34B1 5C78 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=22593
