In another of my common fits of egotism I typed my old e-mail address
ygoland into Alta Vista to see what it would come up with. It produced a
page of jokes about Microsoft
(http://www.ao.com/~regan/quotes/MicroSoft_and_friends.html) to which an
old .sig of mine had been added. The post actually was a quote of a friend
of mine that I put out in my college days. I suppose the moral is, be
careful who you make fun of, you might end up working for them.

P.S. Just wait until your kids start doing searches on you. I can't wait
to see some of you defend some of your postings ten or twenty years hence.
Although the opinion I expressed in
http://lpf.ai.mit.edu/Patents/lpf/lpf-pto-letters-pre-PTO-forward is one I
will be proud to defend for a long time to come.
P.P.S. I also found my old .sig on
