"And anything you _don't_ say can and will be used against you". I think
we'll put a warning in the welcome message when the next edition of _GR_
with the PG sticker comes out.
And to those folks worried about corrupting Andrew (not that Andrew, but
the new young'un), rest assured - he lasted only 3 hours on the list. We
just chew 'em up and spit 'em out.
