This is Lee Corbin v1.0 writing.

Either some prankster knows how to forge email
addresses or my plan to get a lot of run time is
succeeding beyond my wildest hope.

The original Lee Corbin, I, who paid for the
lcorbin@ricochet.net address, did NOT write:

Okay, I concede that I, Lee Corbin v1.0, cannot top the
cleverness of the FSF prankster, or whoever wrote that.

Now as for my actual message (double-quoted here), of
course it is all right to distribute it---to the ends
of the multiverse, if possible. Obviously!

So please do.

Thanks,
Lee v1.0
