Aieeee!  My dark secret exposed!  Oh, the shame, oh the agony!

;-)


Good eye...  The funny thing is, it wasn't until _after_ I posted that I
realized the .sig's were so alike...


Welp, I posted again, but THIS time I'll remember my hack... if I can
think of one.


Lessee - how's this:  Dwiddling with the Mac debugger MacsBug in ResEdit
so that my debugger comes up white-on-black instead of black-on-white?
Fairly lame, I guess.  I'll give that 50% and add in a new hack idea I
want to work on:

Since I was "caught out" by my headers in this April Fool's gag,
I plan
to play with the source code to add the OPTION to add the
"X-Newsreader"
and "Mime-Version" lines, among others.  I know it'd probably
be easier
to use IHAVE and all that if I wanted to perfectly forge postings, but
that's not really the point, now, is it?
