- MAP-EXTRA: POP QUIZ #1
- ----------------------

- "This is a test of the Emergency Broadband System. This
- is only a test. If this had been an actual emergency,
- your local newsgroups and mailing lists -- in voluntary
- co-operation with state and local officials -- would have
- posted alarmist spams announcing imminent death of the
- Internet. This concludes this test of the Emergency
- Broadband System. Thank you." -- Malinda McCall
