- Sure, you do other stuff too. Like post inane articles and not
- respond to queries about viruses (although, to be fair, I do owe my
- first points in the t.o game to Kalki).

- Arrrggghh, you've figured me out! I had thought I could conceal

- Well, I guess my demonic nature has prevented me from getting to the
