I really enjoyed your story, Don. Thanks. :)
What a very good point you made. Our British
friends will differ, as I do, with your mention of
GB as the birthplace of imperialism. What happened
to Rome? To Greece? To Babylon? (and etc.) But
aside from that, thanks for a little sanity.

OK, I want to know who REALLY sent this? Come on, who REALLY wrote this
message, and how did you get the computer to make it look like it came
from Arti?

we may not have started it, but we managed all the classic mistakes along
the way, and came up with a few of our own.....
