Although I can understand Steve not being particularly thrilled by these
messages, I think 174 is fairly well written.  175 showed promise, but kind
of dribbled off into pure nastiness.  I'd be inclined to excuse the forgery,
since there's no danger they would be mistaken as genuine.  (Maybe time to
change the password, guys?)

I recommend #174 to all; I assume Kevin will decide to erase it when he
returns.  To see for yourself, send an empty message with
>To: 
>Subject: CRYOMSG 0014.174  (or CRYOMSG 0014.174 0014.175 to get both).

I should emphasize that I am recommending 174 solely for its creative writing
style; I have no information on the justice or accuracy of the implied barb.
CRYONET has long suffered from a low, mean sort of insult and character
assassination.  0014.174 shows how much we can improve.  Take heart!
