Hi Christopher,

I'm sorry to hear that. It has been a CS-FSLUG tradition since the
beginning. Every year the list has been acquired by someone. AOL
bought it the first year, I believe. Another year, I went to work for
Red Hat.

One of my big goals in life is not to take myself too seriously, if
you haven't already guessed that. :-)

How so?

I appreciate the offer of a character reference. I would seriously
doubt Google cares in the least. Google is one of the biggest
tricksters of the day (c.f. Google Romance, which I referenced in my
announcement -- they had it up, at least yesterday, at
romance.google.com. Really.). It's in the same vein as the old April
Fools joke wherein Microsoft bought the Catholic Church.
