Yes, let's do it! I was hoping someone at extropy.org could
set up an alias for us to use as our team email address, but
I guess no one is interested in the possibility of winning $1k
+ free publicity. Or maybe they just didn't read my message
because of the excessively annoying mime format it was in. :-)
I guess let's just use the email address "rc5@posthuman.com"
since I have all email for that domain routed to me. I have
2 P100s and at least one Pentium II 266 to throw at it...
