He means, "Thanks be to GNU for free > software" I'm sure. You figured me out, Will. I did originally mean to say "GNU" but decided to use "Xenu" instead; play on words kinda thing. For anyone who may not know who Xenu is: http://www.xenu.net/archive/OTIII- scholar/ Short summary: Xenu is the Scientology version of Satan, except that he is thought to be a space alien warlord who killed a bunch of alien slaves by gathering them up from around the galaxy, placing them in volcanoes on Earth, and blowing them up with hydrogen bombs. Scientologists think we are possessed by the souls of those dead aliens. _I_am_not_kidding_. Needless to say, Scientology is under attack by many thinking geeks. > Is this list under attack by trolls who flame each other and copy five or > more messages in single posts?

Hey BRLUGers, please edit your messages and try to chop off the old parts of replies if they are not needed.
