Further to the earlier discussion, I thought some might find this auto-response I got from mailing one CPAN author funny:
----- I am preparing to or have deployed with my National Guard unit for federal active duty. I may not be able to access or read my email for extended periods of time, and even then may be limited by time or security measures. I cannot answer any questions about this deployment, the nature of our mission, or a projected return date. "Loose lips sink ship" ;)
Funny in an amusing way? Or funny as bad?
I now co-own everything in BDFOY's CPAN land, and his home page has a "CPAN power of attorney" pointing at me or Randal. What did you need help with?
