P.S.: Isn't it cool that none of us is using an address which in any
      way informs a person who didn't already know, who it is that we

resulted in great stories to tell years later.

I mean, when person A tells person B "WTF do you know about FooCorp's

damn policies" it's pretty funny.

I don't feel even the slightest guilty ...
