Di and Dodi Run Over A Land Mine
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Vin Suprynowicz wrote: > The campaign to ban land mines Vin, I have long held to the "80/20 Asshole Theory." There are many people in life whose circumstances of birth, heredity, environmental influences and social status would, with everything being equal, be destined to turn out 80% Asshole and 20% Decent Person, or vice-versa. Since we can never really know what the life and circumstances of another person has truly encompassed, we can never be certain, upon meeting someone who is 60% Asshole, whether they were destined to be 80% Asshole, and raised themself, or whether they were destined to be 20% Asshole, and lost major ground, becoming 80% Asshole, instead. I understand the perspective from which you write about Princess Diana, but I cannot help but view her from the perspective of an upper class young woman who was subjected to the anal-retentive mind-programming-control of the monarchy and still managed to raise her children in a wider world than their predecessors had been exposed to. I consider myself to be an anarchist, libertarian free-thinker and a man of reason, but I also realize that if I were crowned King of England tomorrow, that I might be offended if you didn't bow three times when you entered a room where my divine presence was present. I truly believe that the best one can hope for in life is to raise their children to go beyond the boundaries that limit their parents. Diana's destiny within the monarchy was to become programmed to fit into the narrow confines of the role prepared for her. Perhaps if her Puppet Masters had been more patient, she may have become enslaved according to the wishes of her superiors, but the fact is that she was buffeted by trials and tribulations that resulted from her not going quietly into the dark night that the monarchy had planned for her. Diana used the position that was bestowed upon her to give comfort and hope to the halt, the lame, and the downtrodden. Did she do it out of self-serving egoism, or an attempt to gain recognition and fame as a humanitarian? I don't know, I don't care, and it is really none of my business. What *is* my business is to view my fellow man/woman and perceive if they are lifted up or further downtrodden by their interactions with myself and others. I have seen the faces of the AIDS children that she touched, when no one else would, and the lepers whom she shook hands with, when others were afraid to do so, and I have seen the light that she spread among those whom society had cast aside. You said: "They are, after all, born into a society where a person with the wrong accent, or skin color, can never hope to do more than dream of a royal marriage, and dinner at the Ritz." You are wrong. Even the peasant and the imprisoned can dream the dreams that come from the fairy tales that uplift us and give us hope, however unrealistic it may be. And, even if it is one in a million, someone will have that dream come true. Yes, in reality, the story of Diana, the commoner turned Princess, was overblown. No, you are doing the downtrodden no favor by trying to point that out to them. Why? Because no one will grasp the golden ring if no one tries. No one will rise above their predestined station in life if no one believes that it is indeed possible to do so. Perhaps Diana was a priveleged, rich cunt who had it 'better' than those whom she condescended to 'bless' with her presence and her attention. But she touched the untouchables and she lifted those who had been held down, and those whose lives she touched benefitted from her presence, no matter what her motivations or intentions. You write that Diana's campaign against the use of land mines is an unrealistic attempt to negate the cheap and effective defense of the poorer countries. Perhaps what was needed was for her to have the input of someone such as yourself who understands the need for cheap and effective self-defence, so that she could concentrate her efforts on removing landmines that are no longer needed, and preventing the dispersal of landmines which are not truly needed for self-defence, but are only serving as 'toys for boys' who want to play soldier. As far as I am concerned, you and Diana both have something very important in common--the world is a better place for your being here. We need more Vin's, so that there is someone to remind the bleeding hearts that weakness and capitulation can cost more lives and loss of freedom than are gained by seeking an unbalanced 'peace'. We need more Diana's, so that there is someone to remind the warriors that indiscriminate use of weaponry that is not essential may result in the loss of lives of the innocent, rather than the elimination of the threat that must be defended against. I guess what I am saying is that it no more matter to me whether Diana is a fraudulent invention of the media, than it matters to me whether you are a carpetbagger riding on the coat tails of the libertarian movement. What matters to me is that Diana inspires others to treat the untouchables as fellow human beings, and that you remind me to carry a big stick to beat the fuckers with if I find them sneaking up behind me. Besides, anyone who gets whacked out by the monarchy can't be all that bad... {:>}------< (Help! They knocked me down, and cut off my arms!)

Wayner on Crypto Mimicry
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New York Times, CyberTimes <http://www.nytimes.com> September 5, 1997 Behind Encryption Debate: Using a Mimicry Applet By PETER WAYNER What is the true meaning of a message? This is the question that Louis J. Freeh, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, would like every Internet service provider to start wondering. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Related Article Encryption Tops Wide-Ranging Net Agenda in Congress (September 4, 1997) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In testimony before a Senate subcommittee on Wednesday, Freeh suggested that the companies carrying the e-mail of the country should be able to provide a way "for the immediate, lawful decryption of the communications or the electronic information once that information is found by a judgeto be in furtherance of a criminal activity or a national security matter." The only problem is that data is so easy to mutate that it is hard to determine what is the true message. Even after discounting the jokes about the doublespeak of politicians or the beautiful lies that lovers spin to seduce, there are deeper questions of whether it is ever possible to find the correct message in data. This applet shows how data can be mutated into innocent-sounding plaintext with the push of a button. In this case, the destination is a voiceover from a hypothetical baseball game between teams named the Blogs and the Whappers. The information is encoded by choosing the words, the players and the action in the game. In some cases, one message will lead to a string of homeruns, and in other cases a different message will strike out three players in a row. See the FAQ for more information. The applet takes a few minutes to load. When it is ready, you'll see three text-input windows. The first window is where you type the message that you want the applet to encode. The second, larger window is where the mimicry-encoded message appears. Mimicry can be reversed by pushing the second button. The output is replicated at the bottom. Remember that any error in the text can mess up the result. There are plenty of limitations to this system. It only sends uppercase letters and spaces. Lowercase letters are converted to uppercase, and anything else is converted into a space. How do I use to send "innocent" messages? Type your message into the top window, push the first button and then cut the blather out of the second box. Most of the new browsers will let you do this, but some older browsers don't have this capability. Upgrade to Netscape Communicator 4.0 or Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3.0 for this feature. To unscramble the "innocent" message, the receiver needs to call up this page and paste your message into the second box and then push the second button. The hidden message will appear in the bottom window.

High Profile Detainee Seeks Legal Help
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Having no financial resources, Mr. Mitnick has been appointed counsel from the Federal Indigent Defense Panel. As such, Mr. Mitnick's representation is limited; his attorney is not permitted to assist with civil actions, such as filing a Writ of Habeas Corpus. For the past two years, Mr. Mitnick has attempted to assist in his own defense by conducting legal research in the inmate law library at the Metropolitan Detention Center (hereinafter "MDC") in Los Angeles, California. Mr. Mitnick's research includes reviewing court decisions for similar factual circumstances which have occurred in his case. MDC prison officials have been consistently hampering Mr. Mitnick's efforts by denying him reasonable access to law library materials. Earlier this year, Mr. Mitnick's lawyer submitted a formal request to Mr. Wayne Siefert, MDC Warden, seeking permission to allow his client access to the law library on the days set aside for inmates needing extra law library time. The Warden refused. In August 1995, Mr. Mitnick filed an administrative remedy request with the Bureau of Prisons complaining that MDC policy in connection with inmate access to law library materials does not comply with Federal rules and regulations. Specifically, the Warden established a policy for MDC inmates that detracts from Bureau of Prison's policy codified in the Code of Federal Regulations. Briefly, Federal law requires the Warden to grant additional law library time to an inmate who has an "imminent court deadline". The MDC's policy circumvents this law by erroneously interpreting the phrase "imminent court deadline" to include other factors, such as, whether an inmate exercises his right to assistance of counsel, or the type of imminent court deadline. For example, MDC policy does not consider detention (bail), motion, status conference, or sentencing hearings as imminent court deadlines for represented inmates. MDC officials use this policy as a tool to subject inmates to arbitrary and capricious treatment. It appears MDC policy in connection with inmate legal activities is inconsistent with Federal law and thereby affects the substantial rights of detainees which involve substantial liberty interests. In June 1997, Mr. Mitnick finally exhausted administrative remedies with the Bureau of Prisons. Mr. Mitnick's only avenue of vindication is to seek judicial review in a Court of Law. Mr. Mitnick wishes to file a Writ of Habeas Corpus challenging his conditions of detention, and a motion to compel Federal authorities to follow their own rules and regulations. Mr. Mitnick is hoping to find someone with legal experience, such as an attorney or a law student willing to donate some time to this cause to insure fair treatment for everyone, and to allow detainees to effectively assist in their own defense without "Government" interference. Mr. Mitnick needs help drafting a Habeas Corpus petition with points and authorities to be submitted by him pro-se. His objective is to be granted reasonable access to law library materials to assist in his own defense. If you would like to help Kevin, please contact him at the following address: Mr. Kevin Mitnick Reg. No. 89950-012 P.O.

Re: FBI calls for mandatory key escrow; Denning on export ctrls
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

--- begin forwarded text Date: Thu, 4 Sep 1997 09:58:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Peter F Cassidy <pcassidy(a)world.std.com> To: dcsb(a)ai.mit.edu Subject: Re: FBI calls for mandatory key escrow; Denning on export ctrls Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: bounce-dcsb(a)ai.mit.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: Peter F Cassidy <pcassidy(a)world.std.com> Friends, The campaign to bring all communications technologies under state/military control is progressing almost exactly as planned. On my desk is the Jan. 1992 memorandum from Brent Scowcroft, former national security advisor to Bush, outlining the digital telephony/crypto control strategy. The president, Scowcroft wrote in the memorandum, had advised: "Justice should go ahead now to seek a legislative fix to the digital telephony problem, and all parties should prepare to follow through on the encryption problem in about a year. Success with digital telephony will lock in one major objective; we will have a beachhead we can exploit for the encryption fix; and the encryption access options can be developed more thoroughly in the meantime." Digital Telephony legislation was passed in October of 1994 - after the directors of the NSA and FBI visisted senators who were sitting on it and placed holds on it - one for idealogical reasons, the other for horsetrading later in the session. Within days the holds were removed, the legislation flew through both houses in voice votes, if memory serves, and Clinton, a war protester who has become a virtual puppet of the military intelligence system in communications policy, signed it about a week later. Everyone has a telephone yet the opposition couldn't muster enough popular dissent to crush the legislation. This makes me fear for the future of crypto, the conscious users of which define a much smaller universe than telephone users. Most interestingly, the FBI didn't even have real facts on wiretaps to prove its case. A recent academic study indicates that the wiretapping stats that the FBI used to "prove" its case - the absolute necessity of wiretapping - were in large part falsified. (Starting in the early 90s, requests for wiretapping suddenly shot up, while, if you check later, the numbers of executions of the orders and subsequent arrests and prosecutions stayed flat.)

Read This Twice!!
by List1 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Read This Twice!! The following opportunity is one you may be interested in taking a look at. It can be started with VERY MINIMAL outlay! Read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN!... The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. My name is Christopher Erickson. Two years ago, the corporation I worked at for the past twelve years down-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the past year, I incurred many unforeseen financial problems. I owed my family, friends, and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking a toll on my business and I just couldn't seem to make ends meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and struggling business. I truly believe it was wrong for me to be in debt like this. AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life and I am writing to share my experience in hopes that this will change your life FOREVER....FINANCIALLY!!! In mid-December, I received this program via email. Six months prior to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for me to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk to see if they worked or not. One claimed I'd make a million dollars in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to write a book to make it. But like I was saying, in December of '96 I received this program. I didn't send for it, or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly, I couldn't believe my eyes. I could invest as much as I wanted to start, without putting me further in debt. After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out, I would at least get my money back. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided "WHY NOT". Initially I sent out 10,000 emails. It only cost me about $15.00 for my time on-line. The great thing about email is that I didn't need any money for printing to send out the program, only the cost to fulfill my orders. I am telling you like it is, I hope it doesn't turn you off. A good email extracting and mass mail program can be found at: http://www.colba.net I paid off ALL my debts and bought a much needed new car. Please take time to read the attached program, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! Remember, it wont work if you don't try it. This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rules of not trying to place your name in a different place. It doesn't work, you'll lose out on a lot of money! REPORT #2 explains this. Always follow the guarantee, 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1, and 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS !!! If you are a fellow business owner and you are in financial trouble like I was, or you want to start your own business, consider this a sign. I DID! Sincerely, Christopher Erickson "THREW IT AWAY" "I had received this program before. I threw it away, but later wondered if I shouldn't have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get a copy, so I had to wait until I was emailed another copy of the program. Eleven months passed, then it came. I DIDN'T throw this one away. I made $41,000 on the first try." Dawn W., Evansville, IN A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with "NO RISK" and "JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT." You can make more money in the next few months than you have ever imagined. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to email a copy of this exciting program to everyone that you can think of. One of the people you send this to may send out 50,000...and your name will be on every one of them!. Remember though, the more you send out, the more potential customers you will reach. HERE'S HOW THIS PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU $$$$$$ Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we'll assume you and all those involved send out 2,000 programs each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives a .5% response. Using a good list the response could be much better. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. But continuing with this example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a 5% response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. Out of those .5%, 100 people respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The .5% response to that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The .5% response to that is 10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 five dollar bills for you. CASH!!!! Your total income in this example is $50 + $500 + $5000 + $50,000 for a total of $55,550!!!! REMEMBER, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF 2,000 PEOPLE YOU MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM! DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE OR HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF ONLY 2,000. Believe me, many people will do that and more! By the way, your cost to participate in this is practically nothing. You obviously already have an Internet connection and email is FREE!!! REPORT#3 will show you the best methods for bulk emailing and purchasing email lists. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE, LEGAL, MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY It does not require you to come in contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all, you never have to leave the house except to get the mail. If you believe that someday you'll get that big break that you've been waiting for, THIS IS IT! Simply follow the instructions, and your dream will come true. This multi-level email order marketing program works perfectly...100% EVERY TIME. Email is the sales tool of the future. Take advantage of this non-commercialized method of advertising NOW!! MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) has finally gained respectability. It is being taught in the Harvard Business School, and both Stanford Research and The Wall Street Journal have stated that between 50% and 65% of all goods and services will be sold throughout Multi-level Methods by the mid to late 1990's. This is a Multi-Billion Dollar industry and of the 500,000 millionaires in the US, 20% (100,000) made their fortune in the last several years in MLM. Moreover, statistics show 45 people become millionaires everyday through Multi-Level Marketing. This is the GREATEST Multi-level Mail Order Marketing anywhere: Order all four 4 REPORTS listed by NAME AND NUMBER. Do this by ordering the REPORT from each of the four 4 names listed on the next page. For each REPORT, send $5 CASH and a SELF- ADDRESSED, STAMPED envelope (BUSINESS SIZE #10) to the person listed for the SPECIFIC REPORT. International orders should also include $1 extra for postage. It is essential that you specify the NAME and NUMBER of the report requested to the person you are ordering from. You will need ALL FOUR 4 REPORTS because you will be REPRINTING and RESELLING them. DO NOT alter the names or sequence other than what the instructions say. IMPORTANT: Always provide same-day service on all orders. Replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with yours, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. Drop the name and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3, moving the one that was there to REPORT #4. The name and address that was under REPORT #4 is dropped from the list and this party is no doubt on the way to the bank. When doing this, make certain you type the names and addresses ACCURATELY! DO NOT MIX UP MOVING PRODUCT/REPORT POSITIONS!!! Having made the required changes in the NAME list, save it as a text (.txt) file in it's own directory to be used with whatever email program you like. Again, REPORT #3 will tell you the best methods of bulk emailing and acquiring email lists. Email a copy of the entire program (all of this is very important) to everyone whose address you can get your hands on. Start with friends and relatives since you can encourage them to take advantage of this fabulous money-making opportunity. That's what I did. And they love me now, more than ever. Then, email to anyone and everyone! Use your imagination! You can get email addresses from companies on the Internet who specialize in email mailing lists. These are very cheap, 100,000 addresses for around $35.00. IMPORTANT: You won't get a good response if you use an old list, so always request a FRESH, NEW list. You will find out where to purchase these lists when you order the four 4 REPORTS. REQUIRED REPORTS ***Order each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** ALWAYS SEND A SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE AND $5 CASH FOR EACH ORDER REQUESTING THE SPECIFIC REPORT BY NAME AND NUMBER ________________________________________________________ REPORT #1 "HOW TO MAKE $250,000 THROUGH MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: MaxPol.com C.P. 503 St-Jean-sur-Richelieu QC, Canada J3B 6Z8 ________________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: ESB Comm 1213 D University Terrace Blacksburg, VA 24060 ________________________________________________________ "SOURCES FOR THE BEST MAILING LISTS" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: Generation X Communications 216 Janie Lane Blacksburg, VA 24060 ________________________________________________________ REPORT #4 "EVALUATING MULTI-LEVEL SALES PLANS" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: LaChance Information Systems PO Box 308 Placida, FL 33946-0308 ________________________________________________________ Very few people reach financial independence, because when opportunity knocks, they choose to ignore it. It is much easier to say "NO" than "YES", and this is the question that you must answer. Will YOU ignore this amazing opportunity or will you take advantage of it? If you do nothing, you have indeed missed something and nothing will change. Please re-read this material, this is a special opportunity. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to the sender of this information. You will get a prompt and informative reply. My method is simple. I sell thousands of people a product for $5 that costs me pennies to produce and email. I should also point out that this program is legal and everyone who participates WILL make money. This is not a chain letter or pyramid scam. At times you have probably received chain letters, asking you to send money, on faith, but getting NOTHING in return, NO product what-so-ever! Not only are chain letters illegal, but the risk of someone breaking the chain makes them quite unattractive. You are offering a legitimate product to your people. After they purchase the product from you, they reproduce more and resell them. It's simple free enterprise. As you learned from the enclosed material, the PRODUCT is a series of four 4 FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REPORTS. The information contained in these REPORTS will not only help you in making your participation in this program more rewarding, but will be useful to you in any other business decisions you make in the years ahead. You are also buying the rights to reprint all of the REPORTS, which will be ordered from you by those to whom you mail this program. The concise one and two page REPORTS you will be buying can easily be reproduced at a local copy center for a cost off about 3 cents a copy. Best wishes with the program and Good Luck! Send for your four 4 REPORTS immediately so you will have them when the orders start coming in. When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the product/service to comply with US Postal and Lottery laws. Title 18 Sections 1302 and 1341 specifically state that: "A PRODUCT OR SERVICE MUST BE EXCHANGED FOR MONEY RECEIVED." WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE REPORTS TO ARRIVE: 1. Name your new company. You can use your own name if you desire. 2. Get a post office box (preferred). 3. Edit the names and addresses on the program. You must remember, your name and address go next to REPORT #1 and the others all move down one, with the fourth one being bumped OFF the list. 4. Obtain as many email addresses as possible to send until you receive the information on mailing list companies in REPORT #3. 5. Decide on the number of programs you intend to send out. The more you send, and the quicker you send them, the more money you will make. 6. After mailing the programs, get ready to fill the orders. 7. Copy the four 4 REPORTS so you are able to send them out as soon as you receive an order. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ORDERS YOU RECEIVE! YOUR GUARANTEE The check point which GUARANTEES your success is simply this: you must receive 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1. This is a must!!! If you don't within two weeks, email out more programs until you do. Then a couple of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for REPORT #2, if you don't, send out more programs until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for REPORT #2, (take a deep breath) you can sit back and relax, because YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE AT LEAST $50,000. Mathematically it is a proven guarantee. Of those who have participated in the program and reached the above GUARANTEES-ALL have reached their $50,000 goal. Also, remember, every time your name is moved down the list you are in front of a different REPORT, so you can keep track of your program by knowing what people are ordering from you. IT'S THAT EASY, REALLY, IT IS!!!

Stupid Senate Tricks, from The Netly News

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 5 Sep 1997 07:50:39 -0700 (PDT) From: Declan McCullagh <declan(a)well.com> To: fight-censorship-announce(a)vorlon.mit.edu Subject: Stupid Senate Tricks, from The Netly News ********** http://cgi.pathfinder.com/netly/opinion/0,1042,1344,00.html The Netly News Network (http://netlynews.com/) September 5, 1997 Stupid Senate Tricks by Declan McCullagh (declan(a)well.com) What do you get when you mix discussions of high technology and the Internet with the weak minds of the aging techno-half-wits in the U.S. Congress? Answer: a screwball dialogue that veers haphazardly between the idiotic and inane. From the infamous father of the Communications Decency Act to the California senator who confuses computer mice with real rodents, Washington lawmakers rarely have a clue about the technology they try to regulate. Now that Congress is back in session, the lawmakers will once again be muddling through press conferences and briefings with the help of hovering aides. But sometimes they try to make a go of it on their own -- and then the results aren't pretty. [...] Both houses of Congress have their share of boobs. Rep. Sonny Bono (R-Calif.) -- once dubbed the dumbest member of Congress by Washingtonian magazine -- showed up at the National Press Club in July 1996 ostensibly to talk about copyright and the Net. Instead, he rambled incoherently about Cher ("I hope she doesn't put on any more tattoos") and sang "I've Got You, Babe" to the audience. Bono's public relations director once told the Los Angeles Times that when her boss was mayor of Palm Springs, she had to rewrite his agendas into script form: "For call to order, I wrote 'sit.' For salute the flag, I wrote 'stand up, face flag, mouth words.'" (Yet Bono was the only member of Congress with the balls to challenge FBI opposition to pro-privacy legislation at a hearing earlier this year. Go figure.) [...]
