No, I'm not trying to flog a dead horse. 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" ;) Mail may not be saved depending on how long I have not read mail and how much disk space I am using. If you care to write to me, my physical address for mail delivery is ... That mail will be periodically forwarded to me, or handled appropriately. Note that military censors will read anything that you write, and they will take anything you say seriously. Don't make the FBI visit you. -- Sam Vilain, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'Martyrdom' is the only way a person can become famous without ability GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
